I'm a software developer and have had my interests in Mathematics for quite some time now. But my knowledge about Calculus was very limited. Hence I picked up this book. The book has real simple language and of course since this a book about an advanced concept, the reader is expected to have some background in Mathematics. The author provides some examples practicing which gets the concepts ingrained in the readers' mind. I'll be honest, I didn't solve most of the problems (that was not my intention of reading the book either). The book goes into some depth and talks about chain rule, product rule and the quotient rule in Differential Calculus. It would've made it the book better if it had a chapter on Limits as well. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Considering how many fools can calculate, it is surprising that it should be thought either a difficult or a tedious task for any other fool to learn how to master the same tricks. Some calculus-tricks are quite easy. Some are enormously difficult. The fools who write the textbooks of advanced mathematics and they are mostly clever fools seldom take the trouble to show you how easy the easy calculations are. On the contrary, they seem to desire to impress you with their tremendous cleverness by going about it in the most difficult way. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Bottom line, this book is pretty good. I liked the approach taken by Thompson in this work, and the edits by Martin Gardner made it more accessible to a modern audience. ( )
