About the Author
A graduate of Brown University and the University of Wisconsin Law School, Mark Ryan
has been teaching math since 1989. He runs the Math Center in Winnetka, Illinois (www.the
mathcenter.com), where he teaches high school math courses including an introduction to
calculus and a workshop for parents based on a program he developed, The 10 Habits of
Highly Successful Math Students. In high school, he twice scored a perfect 800 on the math
portion of the SAT, and he not only knows mathematics, he has a gift for explaining it in plain
English. He practiced law for four years before deciding he should do something he enjoys
and use his natural talent for mathematics. Ryan is a member of the Authors Guild and the
National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.
Calculus Workbook For Dummies is Ryan’s third book. Everyday Math for Everyday Life was
published in 2002 and Calculus For Dummies (Wiley) in 2003.
A tournament backgammon player and a skier and tennis player, Ryan lives in Chicago.

Author’s Acknowledgments
My agent Sheree Bykofsky of Sheree Bykofsky Associates, Inc., has represented me now on
three successful books. Her ability to make connections in the publishing world and to close
deals — and to see the forest when I might be looking at the trees — has made her invaluable.
Many thanks to my bright, professional, and computer-savvy assistants, Benjamin Mumford,
Randy Claussen, and Caroline DeVane. And a special thanks to the multi-talented Amanda
Wasielewski who did everything from typing the book’s technical equations to creating
diagrams to keeping the project organized to checking the calculus content.
Gene Schwartz, President of Consortium House, publishing consultants, and an expert in
all aspects of publishing, gave me valuable advice for my contract negotiations. My friend,
Beverly Wright, psychoacoustician and writer extraordinaire, was also a big help with
the contract negotiations. She gave me astute and much needed advice and was generous
with her time. I’m grateful to my consultant, Josh Lowitz, Adjunct Associate Professor of
Entrepreneurship at the University of Chicago School of Business. He advised me on every
phase of the book’s production. His insights into my writing career and other aspects of my
business, and his accessibility, might make you think I was his only client instead of one of
a couple dozen.
This book is a testament to the high standards of everyone at Wiley Publishing. Special
thanks to Joyce Pepple, Acquisitions Director, who handled our contract negotiations with
intelligence, honesty, and fairness, and to Acquisitions Editor Kathy Cox, who deftly com-
bined praise with a touch of gentle prodding to keep me on schedule. Technical Editor Dale
Johnson did an excellent and thorough job spotting and correcting the errors that appeared
in the book’s first draft — some of which would be very hard or impossible to find without an
expert’s knowledge of calculus. The layout and graphics team did a fantastic job with the
book’s thousands of complex equations and mathematical figures.
Finally, the book would not be what it is without the contributions of Project Editor Laura
Peterson-Nussbaum. She’s an intelligent and skilled editor with a great sense of language
and balance. And she has the ability to tactfully suggest creative changes — most of which I
adopted — without interfering with my idiosyncratic style. It was a pleasure to work with her.
