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 so much people-assumed that she wouldn't desire it in genuine existence. yet then the English-major-turned-award-winning-science-writer had a metamorphosis of center and made up our minds to revisit the equations and formulation that had haunted her for years. The Calculus Diaries is the thrill and engaging account of her 12 months spent confronting her math phobia head on. With wit and verve, Ouellette exhibits how she realized to use calculus to every thing from fuel mileage to weight loss program, 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 offers an intensive exposition of multivariable calculus. it may be seen as a sequel to the one-variable calculus textual content, A path in Calculus and actual research, released within the related sequence. The emphasis is on correlating basic 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 supply an summary of a few modern innovations within the examine of the asymptotic habit of partial differential equations. those recommendations contain the Maslov canonical operator, semiclassical asymptotics of options and eigenfunctions, habit of options close to singular issues of other forms, matching of asymptotic expansions with regards to a boundary layer, and methods in inhomogeneous media.

3. If f (x) and g(x) are integrable on [a, b] with f (x) ≤ g(x), then b a b f (x) dx ≤ g(x) dx. a 22 2. Methods from the Calculus Proof. With the notation described above, we form Riemann sums: n n f (xi )∆x ≤ i=1 g(xi )∆x. 1. 1 (Simple Estimate). If f (x) is integrable on [a, b] with m ≤ f (x) ≤ M , then b m(b − a) ≤ f (x) dx ≤ M (b − a). 2 (Modulus Inequality). If f (x) is integrable on [a, b], then b b f (x) dx ≤ a |f (x)| dx. a The second corollary follows from the inequalities −|f (x)| ≤ f (x) ≤ |f (x)| and plays the role of the triangle inequality for integrals.

Underestimating an integral. By the quotient rule for differentiation, d dx 1 x x f (u) du 0 ≥0 as required. It is possible to obtain other inequalities involving integrals through an ad hoc consideration of areas bounded by various plane curves. This simple process, reminiscent of the integral test from calculus, is probably best described in an example. 12. The function f (x) = xp , where −1 < p < 0, is strictly decreasing. 4 it is apparent that n+1 1 n xp dx < n kp < xp dx. 0 k=1 Hence, after carrying out the integrations, (n + 1)p+1 − 1 < p+1 n kp < k=1 np+1 .
