Reddit mentions of How to Ace the Rest of Calculus (How to Ace S)

Yeah I agree with analmouthwash, holy shit. That's pretty high end for a calc 2 class.. anyway, i would definitely recommend How to Ace the Rest of Calculus . It's not a go-to reference book but it really makes the topics fun/easy to understand and gives one or two good, easy-to-follow examples for each topic.

Sucks man. I don't know what level of Calculus you're doing, my GF had a really rough time passing Calc 2 which was the last class she needed to finish her degree (took it 3 times).

The last time she ended up getting a pair of books and those more than anything seemed to get her over the hump of failing with 50% and into the "C" range.

Also just as a general rule, studying all night so that you're sleep deprived for a test is usually counterproductive. Doesn't matter how much you cram if your brain is fried and not working on all cylinders when it's test time.

Parts will come back a LOT so you want to be familiar with that if at all possible. I think that is the technique I use most and unlike Trig Sub you cannot just use a table.

When I was struggling in the calc series I found the How To Ace Calculus books to be very helpful. They are good at translating the math into verbal explanations of concepts so I could connect the computations to a bigger picture. You might see if your library has them, if not, they are very cheap on Amazon. The 2nd one has about 25 pages on Series and then the rest is stuff that you see through Calc 2 and Calc 3.

What part of series is messing you up? Just a general foggy confusion or is there something more specific?

Not a textbook, but check out these:

While not a replacement text (you need more problems!), this is pretty swell for single variable and they even have a follow up text.
