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

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.
