Infinite Powers: How Calculus Reveals the Secrets of the Universe

Steven Strogatz

5.0

Without calculus, we wouldn’t have cell phones, TV, GPS, or ultrasound. We wouldn’t have unraveled DNA or discovered Neptune or figured out how to put 5,000 songs in your pocket.

Though many of us were scared away from this essential, engrossing subject in high school and college, Steven Strogatz’s brilliantly creative, down‑to‑earth history shows that calculus is not about complexity; it’s about

"Infinite Powers: How Calculus Reveals the Secrets of the Universe" book by @stevenstrogatz https://t.co/wy91xAEqlS Great #Mathematics book that explores the History of Modern Science from this amazing perspective! https://t.co/M4obTvpnbe [source]

Nigel Shadbolt

Infinite Powers is a wonderful motivational for anyone taking a course in calculus. For those readers who remember calculus with dread from maths classes of yore, here is a text that explains just why the material has always had such a key place in our curricula. It charts a history of ideas that sought to make sense of the world through mathematics—to develop methods that find the deep laws and patterns that govern nature and enable us to build everything from computers to jet engines, televisions to microwaves.

Calculus: An Intuitive and Physical Approach

Morris Kline

5.0

Application-oriented introduction relates the subject as closely as possible to science. In-depth explorations of the derivative, the differentiation and integration of the powers of x, and theorems on differentiation and antidifferentiation lead to a definition of the chain rule and examinations of trigonometric functions, logarithmic and exponential functions, techniques of integration, polar co

Calculus, Volume 1: One-Variable Calculus with an Introduction to Linear Algebra

Tom M. Apostol

4.8

An introduction to the Calculus, with an excellent balance between theory and technique. Integration is treated before differentiation--this is a departure from most modern texts, but it is historically correct, and it is the best way to establish the true connection between the integral and the derivative. Proofs of all the important theorems are given, generally preceded by geometric or intuitiv

Calculus On Manifolds: A Modern Approach To Classical Theorems Of Advanced Calculus

Michael Spivak

4.8

This little book is especially concerned with those portions of ”advanced calculus” in which the subtlety of the concepts and methods makes rigor difficult to attain at an elementary level. The approach taken here uses elementary versions of modern methods found in sophisticated mathematics. The formal prerequisites include only a term of linear algebra, a nodding acquaintance with the notation of

Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Author

There is something admirable about the school of the Russians: they are thinkers doing math, with remarkable clarity, minimal formalism, and total absence of unnecessary pedantry one finds in more modern texts (in the post Bourbaki era). This is of course surprising as one would have expected the exact opposite from the products of the communist era. Mathematicians should be using this book as a model for their own composition. You can read it and reread it. Professors should assign this in addition to modern texts, as readers can get intutions, something alas absent from modern texts. [source]

It is the mathematical method for the analysis of things that change, and since in the natural world we are surrounded by change, the development of calculus was a huge breakthrough in the history of mathematics. But it is also something of a mathematical adventure, largely because of the way infinity enters at virtually every twist an

HOW TO MEMORIZE FORMULAS IN MATHEMATICS: Book-1 Calculus

Rajesh Sarswat

4.1

It can sometimes be very tricky to understand and remember the mathematical formulas since there are many for every concept and that too with various applications. If a formula is put wrong regardless of how small is the mistake, the whole problem goes wrong. But, with the tips given in this book, students will be able to memorize all the formulas with better understanding.

Complex Analysis

Elias M. Stein

4.1

With this second volume, we enter the intriguing world of complex analysis. From the first theorems on, the elegance and sweep of the results is evident. The starting point is the simple idea of extending a function initially given for real values of the argument to one that is defined when the argument is complex. From there, one proceeds to the main properties of holomorphic functions, whose pro
