Synopsis

Graphical Calculus shows you how calculus works through clear, visual ideas you can see on a page. This practical introduction teaches differentiation and integration with a focus on understanding meaning, not just manipulating symbols. It is especially helpful for engineering students who want a concrete grasp of the subject before moving to more abstract techniques.

This edition guides you through curves, coordinates, and the link between graphs and formulas. It emphasizes thinking about problems in real terms and using diagrams to reveal rates, areas, and relationships that underlie calculus.

• See how a changing line or curve generates area and how that relates to the derivative concept


• Learn graphical methods for differentiation and integration that support practical problem solving


• Explore how differential coefficients apply to trigonometric and logarithmic functions


• Build a solid foundation for connecting calculus with other areas of mathematics

Ideal for readers of engineering and students who want a firm, practical grasp of the bare essentials of calculus.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from Graphical Calculus

All "up-to-date" teachers of engineering and applied sciences generally now recognize the vast superiority of graphical over purely mathematical methods of imparting instruction of almost every description. The former are much more convincing to the student, because they appeal to the eye, the training of which is one of the chief objects to be aimed at in the education of an engineer. There is no doubt that this method is capable of great extension with advantage. In this little book, for instance, we see graphical constructions of a very simple character employed to teach what, to the beginner, are somewhat abstruse mathematical principles.

The attempt to employ purely mathematical, in preference to graphical methods, seems to me quite as absurd as attempting to teach geography by giving the position of towns in terms of their latitude and longitude, and explaining the shape of a country by giving the equation to the coast-line instead of by employing the graphical method, i.e. exhibiting a map.
