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

Kiss My Math meets A journey of the Calculus

Jennifer Ouellette by no means took math in collage, as a rule simply because she-like such a lot people-assumed that she wouldn't want 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 yr spent confronting her math phobia head on. With wit and verve, Ouellette indicates how she realized to use calculus to every little thing from fuel mileage to weight-reduction 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 similar sequence. The emphasis is on correlating normal recommendations 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 supply an outline of a few modern ideas within the examine of the asymptotic habit of partial differential equations. those innovations contain the Maslov canonical operator, semiclassical asymptotics of ideas and eigenfunctions, habit of recommendations close to singular issues of other types, matching of asymptotic expansions on the subject of a boundary layer, and approaches in inhomogeneous media.

Example text

These solutions are valid for any C 1 -functions F , G : R → R. Remark 1. If F and G are of class C 2 , then the functions are solutions of the wave equation. ♦ Remark 2. The reason why the example is placed here is that one latently applies the chain rule in a very simple version when we calculate the partial derivative. However, this cannot be clearly seen due to all the other messages in the example. 5 Let Pn (x, y, z) be an homogeneous polynomial of degree n in three variables. Consider Pn as a function of the spherical coordinates (r, θ, ϕ).

6) When f (r, t) = tα exp − r2 ∂f = αtα−1 exp − ∂t 4t r2 , we get 4t + tα exp − r2 4t · r2 = 4t2 αtα−1 + 1 2 α−2 r2 r t exp − 4 4t , and accordingly (3) r2 ∂f = ∂t αr2 tα−1 + 1 4 α−2 r2 r t exp − 4 4t . Furthermore, ∂f r2 = tα exp − ∂r 4t · − 1 r2 r = − tα−1 r exp − 2t 2 4t , so r2 1 ∂f r2 = − tα−1 r3 exp − ∂r 2 4t and ∂ ∂r (4) r2 ∂f ∂r r2 r2 3 1 = − tα−1 r2 exp − + r2 tα−2 exp − 2 4t 4 4t 2 1 r 3 = − tα−1 r2 + r4 tα−2 exp − . com 61 Calculus 2c-2 Partial derivatives of higher order 3 By comparison we see that (3) and (4) only equals each other when α = − , corresponding to 2 the fact that only f (r, t) = t−3/2 exp − r2 4t , t > 0, of the given set of functions are solutions of r2 ∂ ∂f = ∂t ∂r r2 ∂f ∂r .

4 Prove in each of the following cases that the given function f satisfies the given differential equation everywhere in its domain. In some of the cases there occur some constants α, β, γ; check if these can be chosen freely. Notice that the variables are not x, y or z in all cases. x2 + y 2 , defined in R2 \ {0}, fulfils the differential equation 1) Prove that the function ln ∂2f ∂2f + 2 = 0. 2 ∂x ∂y 2) Prove that the function eαx cos(αy), defined in R2 , fulfils the differential equation ∂2f ∂2f + = 0.
