A supplement to traditional textbooks, \u003ci\u003eThe Cartoon Introduction to Calculus \u003c\/i\u003efocuses on the big ideas rather than all the formulas you have to memorize. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith Klein and Bauman as our guides, we scale the dual peaks of Mount Derivative and Mount Integral, and from their summits, we see how calculus relates to the rest of mathematics. Beginning with the problems of speed and area, Klein and Bauman show how the discipline is unified by a fundamental theorem. We meet geniuses like Archimedes, Liu Hui, and Bonaventura Cavalieri, who survived the slopes on intuition but prepared us for the avalanche-like dangers posed by mathematical rigor. Then we trek onward and scramble through limits and extreme values, optimization and integration, and learn how calculus can be applied to economics, physics, and so much more. We discover that calculus isn't the pinnacle of mathematics after all, but its tools are foundational to everything that follows. Klein and Bauman round out the book with a handy glossary of symbols and terms, so you don't have to worry about mixing up constants and constraints. With a witty and engaging narrative full of jokes and insights, \u003ci\u003eThe Cartoon Introduction to Calculus \u003c\/i\u003eis an essential primer for students or for anyone who is curious about math.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA freelance cartoonist, illustrator, and animator, \u003cb\u003eGrady Klein\u003c\/b\u003e is the creator of the Lost Colony series of graphic novels. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn environmental economist at the University of Washington, \u003cb\u003eYoram Bauman\u003c\/b\u003e, Ph.D., is the world's first and only stand-up economist. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThey are the coauthors of \u003ci\u003eThe Cartoon Introduction to Economics\u003c\/i\u003e, volumes one and two.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 9.9 x 6.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 16, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47451048476850,"sku":"9780809033690","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/f5f5754fc65b14d79ae820b535167780.webp?v=1778793732","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/the-cartoon-introduction-to-calculus-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
