### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great book for math enthusiasts
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2022*

This book is not meant to be used as a single source for learning calculus or for calculus classes, however it is a beautiful book for math enthusiasts to take it along on vacations. It beautifully explains the math and calculus all around us. This book is not for everyone, don’t buy it if you do not love mathematics.

    Sneaky Intro to Differential Equations
  

*by U***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2014*

The systems, events and measurements highlighted in this fine little book are the "everyday" part-- the calculus is not! In order to model the types of everyday experiences the author describes in fine fashion, simply taking the first or second derivative to find slope or acceleration doesn't do much. The truth is that he's subtly talking about dynamical systems-- differential EQUATIONS, not just calc as we'd see it as an isolated technique.The real physics, engineering, biology, etc. that these equations model require matrix vectors and really advanced concepts and techniques, many of them not even able to be generalized beyond that model or problem. In fact, of the four methods used in dynamical systems (analytic, qualitative, numeric and the newest family member stochastic/statistical), most are incapable of modeling anything but the simplest versions of the underlying "reality." We can't, for example, specify the design of an airplane wing analytically, so we use qualitative (graphs, for example) and numeric ("guesses" with computer algorithms), which as we engineers would say, gets us "close enough."I just didn't want you misled into thinking that the calculus itself was everyday or simple. The author does a wonderful job of hand holding us through the foundations. There is a lot of value in this in: 1. Getting us "ready" for advanced applications 2. Giving us a fun glimpse at why calc is so important 3. Giving us an intuitive feel for why we model in the more advanced form. Every High School student interested in math should read this, even though the true topics are advanced undergrad and grad level! The author actually makes this possible, which is a rare feat. If you're an AP math student, you'll get this easily, and the appendix will transition you to undergrad. The sneaky part is that the solutions to the calculus described here are quantities, whereas the real-life modeling dynamical systems equations have functions as solutions. This is normally not taught in High School, at least in the US (I teach bright HS kids math online).If you're an autodidact or math enthusiast, you'll enjoy this regardless of your level, as there is a very broad collection of applications, and the author explains them in enough detail to whet your appetite for more. Highly recommended for the right reader. I also had no problem with the formulas (they aren't that detailed, and have no nasty page breaks) on my Kindle. If I were home schooling, I'd definitely get this as a "motivator" to teach why math is so important to "real" life. Realistically, it is the brain that uses these equations to cross a street, not necessarily our everyday mind! You won't be doing calculations after reading this (except unconsciously) to decide where to sit in a movie. Honestly, most "users" of these techniques are engineers and physicists, but even an 11 year old child is doing advanced calc when s/he rides a bike!!! Pretty astonishing.

    gravity, raindrops and the age of the universe.
  

*by L***J on Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2014*

Raindrops.After a interesting discussion with the author I like to comment on the subject of raindrops. I presume equation(13) is the equation  for the terminal velocity of the raindrop. A sort of umbrella manufacturer estimate. What confuses me is the wording. Using drag I would consider form drag and/or viscous drag. The differential equation in the Appendix 3 is about the change of momentum. I presume again this equation to be correct. It describes the influence of the change in momentum and gravity on the raindrop, no form or viscous drag. No problem the book is about calculus and not about physics. By the way viscous drag for low Reynolds numbers works in the same way as the change of momentum.(When dm/dt is positive!) However, it is not an alternative description! For completeness the viscous drag should have been involved in the differential equation. Again, the book is about calculus and not about physics.I do appreciate the calculus of the book. The book concludes with a nice example of present day physics: the age of the universe. The author descibes the formal steps for obtaining equation (93). However, I can imagine that for a layperson learning quite a few things about calculus with help of this book these steps are not of a great help to find (93). Some wording that a detailed description of the integration and taking the limit is beyond the scope of "Ëveryday Calculus" would have been of some help. A layperson will not read the references.Dr.l.noordzij@leennoordzij.nl
