The Calculus Diaries: How Math Can Help You Lose Weight, Win in Vegas, and Survive a Zombie Apocalypse

Kiss My Math meets A travel of the Calculus

Jennifer Ouellette by no means took math in collage, often simply because she-like such a lot people-assumed that she wouldn't desire it in genuine lifestyles. yet then the English-major-turned-award-winning-science-writer had a transformation of middle and made up our minds to revisit the equations and formulation that had haunted her for years. The Calculus Diaries is the joys and interesting account of her 12 months spent confronting her math phobia head on. With wit and verve, Ouellette indicates how she realized to use calculus to every thing from fuel mileage to eating plan, from the rides at Disneyland to capturing craps in Vegas-proving that even the mathematically challenged can study the basics of the common language.

A Course in Multivariable Calculus and Analysis (Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics)

This self-contained textbook supplies an intensive exposition of multivariable calculus. it may be considered as a sequel to the one-variable calculus textual content, A path in Calculus and actual research, released within the comparable sequence. The emphasis is on correlating common options and result of multivariable calculus with their opposite numbers in one-variable calculus.

Partial Differential Equations V: Asymptotic Methods for Partial Differential Equations (Encyclopaedia of Mathematical Sciences) (v. 5)

The six articles during this EMS quantity offer an outline of a couple of modern options within the research of the asymptotic habit of partial differential equations. those concepts contain the Maslov canonical operator, semiclassical asymptotics of options and eigenfunctions, habit of options close to singular issues of other varieties, matching of asymptotic expansions with regards to a boundary layer, and methods in inhomogeneous media.

It is, however, used in solving equations. Example 1-13 Solve 4 ϭ ln 2x. 31 ϭ ln x. ” If the logarithm of something is a number or an expression, then that number or expression is the exponent of the base of the logarithm. 1-6 Functions and Graphs Functions can be viewed as a series of mathematical orders. The typical function is written starting with y, or f(x), read as “f of x,” short for function of x. The mathematical function y or f(x) ϭ x2 ϩ 2x ϩ 1 is a series of orders or operations to be performed on an as yet to be specified value of x.

This conp/2 stant in the argument is called the phase and the sign of this constant moves the function to the left or right on the x-axis. It is not necessary to remember which sign moves the function which way. The placement of the function on the x-axis comes out of the analysis. x Ϫ(p/2) Ϫ(p/4) y sin (2x ϩ p) 0 1 y = sin( 2 x + p ) p 2 x p _ p _p Figure 1-30 shows a sine function with ampli4 4 2 tude 1.
