Résumé

This unusual calculus supplement, popular with students and teachers alike, is a very useful guide for any calculus student.These well-known teachers have commented on its value:"Barry Cipra has written one of the most entertaining pieces I have read in a long while. Whether you are in the process of learning calculus or teaching it, using calculus regularly or revisiting it, you will find this book a sheer delight. You will also find a lot of good advice about how to tell when your calculations have gone wrong." -Ross L Finney, coauthor of Calculus and Analytic Geometry."The title of this light-hearted and amusing book might well have been 'Going Gray in Elementary Calculus and How to Avoid It.' Changing the metaphor, Barry has hit the nail on the finger in hundreds of fine examples." -Philip J. Davis, coauthor of The Mathematical Experience".How I wish that something like this had been available when I was a student!" -Ralph P. Boas, former editor of The American Mathematical Monthly.Contents
