Is there an easy way to learn calculus?
Are there any books or websites that can help me understand exactly how calculus problems are solved? What's an easy way to understand how calculus works and how to use it to solve its equations?

One of the best calculus review books out there is Arco Master the AP Calculus AB & BC Test (ISBN: 0764561812). This self study book is clear, concise, and easy to follow. Unlike other calculus independent study books, this book has a voice making it less dry than the others. The calculus concepts are presented with accompanying example problems which are solved in detail. At the end of each section there are practice problems which are equipped with detailed explanations a couple of pages later.
A helpful website for help solving calculus problems is http://www.wolframalpha.com/. This website allows you to search what you specifically want to learn more about into the search field. For example if you want to find the derivative of the function, in the search field you type "derivative" and then the next page that shows up will ask you to enter the function you want to differentiate. After typing in that function you will be given the differentiated function, the graph of that differentiated function, the geometric shape, and the indefinite integral all in one page. If you wish to see each step leading to the final differentiated function, just click on "Show Steps" on the upper right hand corner of the box with the differentiated function. This website is a good reference for checking your work.
An easy way to understand how calculus works is to practice example problems and go through the solutions as soon as you don't understand. Then solve a similar problem on your own.
