Does the thought of calculus give you a coronary? Fear not! This friendly workbook takes you through each concept, operation, and solution, explaining the "how" and "why" in plain English, rather than math-speak. Through relevant instructino and practical examples, you'll soon discover that calculus isn't nearly the monster it's made out to be.

If you want a print book, check the various "Schaums Outlines" books, or books in the "For Dummies" series with "Workbook" in the title (ex, "Calculus Workbook for Dummies", etc.) There's also the "Problem Solvers" books and those "Humongous Book of X" books.
