More Calculus of a Single Variable by Peter R. Mercer (auth.)

By Peter R. Mercer (auth.)

This publication is going past the fundamentals of a primary path in calculus to bare the facility and richness of the topic. ordinary issues from calculus — equivalent to the true numbers, differentiation and integration, suggest price theorems, the exponential functionality — are reviewed and elucidated earlier than digging right into a deeper exploration of concept and purposes, corresponding to the AGM inequality, convexity, the paintings of integration, and specific formulation for π. additional issues and examples are brought via a plethora of workouts that either problem and pleasure the reader. whereas the reader is thereby uncovered to the numerous threads of calculus, the coherence of the topic is preserved all through through an emphasis on styles of improvement, of facts and argumentation, and of generalization.

More Calculus of a unmarried Variable is acceptable as a textual content for a direction in complicated calculus, as a supplementary textual content for classes in research, and for self-study by means of scholars, teachers, and, certainly, all connoisseurs of inventive calculations.

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, typically simply because she-like such a lot people-assumed that she wouldn't desire it in actual existence. yet then the English-major-turned-award-winning-science-writer had a metamorphosis of center and determined to revisit the equations and formulation that had haunted her for years. The Calculus Diaries is the joys and engaging account of her yr spent confronting her math phobia head on. With wit and verve, Ouellette indicates how she discovered to use calculus to every thing from fuel mileage to weight-reduction plan, from the rides at Disneyland to taking pictures craps in Vegas-proving that even the mathematically challenged can research the basics of the common language.

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

This self-contained textbook supplies a radical exposition of multivariable calculus. it may be considered as a sequel to the one-variable calculus textual content, A direction in Calculus and actual research, released within the related sequence. The emphasis is on correlating basic thoughts 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 summary of a few modern ideas within the research of the asymptotic habit of partial differential equations. those thoughts contain the Maslov canonical operator, semiclassical asymptotics of recommendations and eigenfunctions, habit of suggestions close to singular issues of other forms, matching of asymptotic expansions with regards to a boundary layer, and strategies in inhomogeneous media.

Procedure your difficulties from the suitable finish it's not that they can not see the answer. it's and start with the solutions. Then someday, that they cannot see the matter. possibly you can find the ultimate query. G. ok. Chesterton. The Scandal of pop 'The Hermit Oad in Crane Feathers' in R. Brown 'The aspect of a Pin'.
