<p>I'm currently struggling in AP Calculus and i was wondering if any of u engineering kids know of any websites or like helpful books or anything?</p>
<p>Get a tutor, books don't really help. Tutors do.</p>
<p>Read 'Calculus' by Thomas/Finney, it's a great/standard elementary calculus book for top engineering schools.</p>

<p>Tutors help but sometimes individual websites really pinpoint what exactly you're having trouble with. A tutor isn't always there. Believe me I know. I have plenty of sites (I think I still have them. Might have erased them haha)</p>
<p>Name your subjects that you're having difficulty in. I have an excellent sequences and series site but that is BC. What subject matters are you having trouble in? Differentiating, integrating, parts, trig subst.? Just wondering. It might get you some better sites too.</p>
<p>Oh, hey:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.sosmath.com/%5B/url%5D">http://www.sosmath.com/</a></p>
<p>That's a good site, and it covers from algebra up through differential equations, so it'll last you a good long while. But definitely get a tutor to work with you on difficult concepts, and don't be afraid to meet with your teacher after class to go over things you don't understand. Ask questions in class. Work on homework in groups. Chances are very good that if you're not getting it, other people in the class are kind of confused, too, and working together on problems on a regular basis will help all of you out.</p>
<p>Lots of different strategies out there. Try several and see what works for you!</p>
<p>Best of luck.</p>
<p>i used mathworld. just search on google wolfram research math and it should pop up. it's pretty theoretical, but i looked at it a lot because they had cool pictures and even cooler implications of calculus and various other maths.</p>
<p>Does your textbook have a solution manual? If so, it may be helpful. Check on a textbook website. I'm not a math person, but my son is. Whenever he struggled with a topic, I would sometimes tell him to call a friend who may understand it better. His response was always that he had to figure it out by himself. Sometimes he would work for several hours, but then he really, REALLY understood it. Perseverence pays off!</p>

<p>(irc.. duh)</p>
<p>"Read 'Calculus' by Thomas/Finney, it's a great/standard elementary calculus book for top engineering schools."</p>
<p>I agree. We're using the 9th edition at my high school and I like it a lot. Also, the solutions manual might be helpful so that you can see where those answers in the back come from.</p>
<p>Calculus by Kline - it's paperback, relatively inexpensive form Barnes and Nobles, etc. Very clear and concise, if that's your style.</p>
