DVD/Study Aid Review: The Calculus 3 Tutor: Volume 2 - 11 Hour Course

 

This is the second volume of Jason's Calculus 3 tutor, and it basically covers the hard types of integrals you will be exposed to in class, triple integrals, line integrals, flux integrals, and the theorems that make them a bit easier like Green's Theorem and Stokes Theorem. This is definitely the hardest material in multivariable calculus, and if you are going into electrical engineering, a lot of this stuff will rear its ugly head again in a class called Electric and Magnetic Fields.

Jason breaks down all the topics in enough detail to understand the material and then does examples. He does at least a couple of examples per topic and goes step-by-step through the problems. It is a style of teaching the material that really works for me, and why, even though there are free sources out there, I don't mind paying for his material. But, you really do have to know what is conducive to your style of learning, especially since you cannot ask questions of, or otherwise interact with, a recorded video. But, if you are a visual learner and you can sit through a simulated college lecture with a guy in front of a whiteboard working on math problems, then this is a good option, especially if your teacher confuses you and you cannot make heads or tails of the book.
