Description

Book Synopsis: When Isaac Newton developed calculus in the 1600s, he was trying to tie together math and physics in an intuitive, geometrical way. But over time math and physics teaching became heavily weighted toward algebra, and less toward geometrical problem solving. However, many practicing mathematicians and physicists will get their intuition geometrically first and do the algebra later. Make:Calculus imagines how Newton might have used 3D printed models, construction toys, programming, craft materials, and an Arduino or two to teach calculus concepts in an intuitive way. The book uses as little reliance on algebra as possible while still retaining enough to allow comparison with a traditional curriculum. This book is not a traditional Calculus I textbook. Rather, it will take the reader on a tour of key concepts in calculus that lend themselves to hands-on projects. This book also defines terms and common symbols for them so that self-learners can learn more on their own.

Details

If you're tired of traditional math textbooks that make calculus seem like an abstract concept, we have the perfect solution for you. Introducing Make:Calculus, a groundbreaking book that brings the power of hands-on learning to the world of calculus. With Make:Calculus, you'll have the opportunity to build models, visualize complex concepts, and explore the fascinating world of calculus in a whole new way.

Unlike traditional calculus textbooks, Make:Calculus takes a geometrical approach to teaching. Inspired by Isaac Newton's original vision of connecting math and physics, this book shows you how to use 3D printed models, construction toys, programming, and even craft materials to gain an intuitive understanding of calculus. Say goodbye to boring algebra-heavy lessons and unlock the true potential of geometrical problem-solving.

Whether you're a practicing mathematician, physicist, or a self-learner looking to expand your knowledge, Make:Calculus is the ultimate guide to calculus concepts. It's not just another Calculus I textbook – it's a hands-on journey through the key principles that make calculus come to life. From defining terms to explaining common symbols, this book provides everything you need to learn at your own pace.
