Fernandez, Oscar E.
Everyday Calculus: Discovering the Hidden Math All around Us Oscar Fernandez - 1st ed. - Princeton : Princeton University Press, 2014. - x, 150 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm
Wake up and smell the functions Breakfast at Newton’s Driven by derivatives Connected by calculus Take a derivative and you’ll feel better Adding things up, the calculus way Derivatives and integrals: the dream team
Uses everyday experiences to reveal the hidden calculus behind a typical day's events, showing how math naturally emerges from simple observations such as how hot coffee cools down, and demonstrating that calculus can be both useful and fascinating
