I just finished taking the AP Calculus BC course as well as the AP test and I can say that this book prepared me very well. The lectures cover every possible topic that will show up on the AP test and do a very good job of ensuring that you understand the content. There was not a single question on the AP test that the lectures in this book did not cover. I strongly recommend it for anyone looking to be successful in Calculus!

The most helpful book I know!!!!!

Ms. Korsunsky’s power point presentations are phenomenal in every aspect. Not only do they go over the exact type of questions asked on the AP exam, but they also include in-depth explanations of the quickest way to solve these problems. They also include many diagrams and examples to really explain the fundamental concepts that are neccesaary for the subsequent set of advanced problems. After I practiced watching these lectures, my understanding has deepened and my speed at answering the questions has risen greatly. A must-buy if you are looking to score a 5 on the AP Calculus AB or BC AP exam!!!

Amazing resource!

Everything in this book is very organized, and the progression of content complexity is perfect as well; before I knew it, I was able to understand and solve problems with topics that I had never even heard of before. Ms. Korsunsky explains each concept very clearly, with many nice visuals and diagrams, and utilizes a variety of examples to help students apply these concepts to a variety of problems. I would highly, highly recommend this book! (The design is cute too!)

Great book!

Ms. Korsunsky was my AP Calculus BC teacher, and her interactive lectures were absolutely terrific. She provides excellent explanations of all concepts and several examples to further help students understand. Almost our entire class got 5's on the AP exam, and I largely attribute that to Ms. Korsunsky's lectures.

Very helpful resource-- highly recommend!

The interactive powerpoints in this book are extremely useful for anyone trying to learn calculus or prepare for the AP test. Having been in Mrs. Korsunsky's class last year, my class was exposed to similar powerpoints that were comprehensive and easy to understand. The challenging yet engaging practice problems also made it easy to learn calculus and get a 5 on the AP test. Additionally, all of the Mathboat books have cute characters to help you remember key facts and formulas!

Captivating and effective

I used this book over a year ago, and I still remember every single calculus concept it covered. It also helped me get a 5 on the AP Calculus BC test. It's such an effective teaching tool that I didn't even know that I was learning when my class used this book and ppt series. The problems were challenging, engaging, and interesting. I'd definitely recommend this book to anybody who wants to learn calculus.

I was one of Rita Korsunsky's students and for the AP test, I used her lectures to study all the concepts for review and to clear my questions. I recieved a 5 on the AP exam and I could not have done it without these lectures. All of her lectures contain logical steps which I can follow. They are organized and planned in such a fashion that there are no missed steps along the way for any of the concepts. I really appreciate that all of these books are open to me as a resource to visit whenever I need to review my calculus.

I wanted to fully understand the calculus concepts before moving on to the next lesson at school and I thought this was a great book to help me do just that. I felt that this interactive book gave me the solid foundation that I needed in order to be confident and ready for class the next day. The practice problems in the lectures were also extremely helpful and answered many of my questions! These lectures were not only interactive, but also extremely concise and to the point, which made it even more easier for me to grasp the concepts. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a solid foundation in the basic concepts of calculus before moving on to the next level.

This interactive lecture series is thoroughly comprehensive in content with everything from Solids of Revolution to Converging and Diverging Series, going above and beyond the standards of AP Calculus BC. Korsunsky draws upon her fourteen years of teaching excellence and does a masterful job of explaining and highlighting key concepts to provide a fundamental understanding of calculus that will last all throughout college and beyond. In this sense, this book is every bit a sterling example of effective teaching as much as it is a gateway towards a mastery of elementary calculus and I strongly recommend this to all students and educators alike. Check out the book! I guarantee you this is a resource you will come back to time and time again.

I have been a math tutor for 23years. This book is a great learning tool for me and my students. The slides are easy to understand. Each tap brings out the next line or equation, so you can absorb the information one line or equation at a time. Ms. Korsunky's use of color, highlighting and boxing of important points make this a very clear presentation. Each section of text includes well worked examples. I'm looking forward to her next book!

Most helpful, easy-to-understand, and fun calculus book out there!

I was a student in Mrs. Korsunsky's highly enjoyable, successful Pre-Calculus and AP Calculus BC classes, and I assure you that her PowerPoints are some of the most informative, knowledgeable, helpful, engaging, and entertaining lectures I've ever experienced! Mrs. Korsunsky makes learning calculus undaunting, fun, and even easy! There is no need to fear the AP Calculus AB exam if you make use of this wonderful interactive textbook.
This book is neatly and clearly organized, with plenty of colorful and cute cartoons/animations that make math a lot more fun than expected. For example, Mrs. Korsunsky's "Happy and Sad Face method" for learning concavity and the Second Derivative Test is very easy to remember and makes learning derivatives extremely clear and logical, especially for first time calculus learners.
I also really enjoy how the lectures are self-directed, and each individual user can determine the pace at which he or she learns. When going through the PowerPoints, students can click through the slides however quickly or slowly they like and spend more time on the topics they find most difficult. Most of the slides are accompanied by interactive graphs or diagrams that illustrate the concepts, which I find crucial to successfully learning calculus.
Besides the academic aspect of this book, AP Calculus Interactive Lectures Vol. 1 is also a testament to the impressive passion and commitment to education and mathematics that Mrs. Rita Korsunsky possesses. I can't think of a better person to learn the wonders of calculus from! Thank you, Mrs. Korsunsky!

At the beginning of this math year i was struggling a lot with my calculus class and everything seemed so foreign and so in hopes I bought this book to help me understand and it makes me understand everything so much more than before! Without it I would probably still be lost and maybe even failing. I totally recommend this book who is lost in the world of calculus, because I am sure you will find your way with Ms. Rita!! Good luck to everyone taking this course!

I used to be a student in Mrs. Korsunsky's AP Calculus BC class, and these powerpoints and lectures helped me and the rest of my class fully understand the subject of calculus! Almost every single student in her class gets a 5 or 4 on the AP exam, and everyone passes the exam due to these interactive lessons. Their clear explanations are all extremely easy to follow along, and allow you to visualize complicated calculus concepts in a way that a simple textbook cannot. I strongly urge anyone interested in exploring this wonderful mathematical subject or any student requiring assistance in learning calculus to buy this book. Calculus is made fun and easy with these lectures!

I am a Calculus AB / BC teacher and I've been using Rita Korsunsky Interactive lectures for one in year in teaching so far. After using these interactive lectures, the AP scores of students went up about 30%. They are very visual with many different types of examples to help students understand the concepts and apply them to different types of problems. It saves me time whenever I have to go over the previous day's homework with my students. It is fun, rigorous, and engaging of students. With this book published, I hope my students will download it and improve their skills even more. I'm very excited that Mathboat is now offering a teacher's edition, and I'm going to buy it to use in my lesson planning. I love how this book is good for both teachers and students, and I highly recommend it.
