Synopsis

Did you study calculus recently - or long ago? Was it hard work and difficult to understand? Did you feel drowned by theorems, proofs, exercises? Do you suspect that beauty exists in calculus but you didn't get a warm and fuzzy sensation? This is the book for you! It is aimed to promote calculus appreciation - similar to music, art, or literature appreciation. The focus is on the beautiful ideas that are revealed by calculus. The earliest idea is the unity of the most prominent transcendental functions. The two calculus operators, derivative and integral, result in many beautiful concepts. Transformations, probability, complex variables, orthogonal functions extremals and optimization lead to an appreciation for how scientists discover and engineers optimize using calculus.
