Book Description
Animating Calculus is the result of an inspired collaboration between Ed Packel, who is experienced in the integration of computers and mathematics in the classroom, and Stan Wagon, well-known mathematical expositor and author of the acclaimed Mathematica in Action (1991, WH Freeman). It contains 22 laboratory notebooks that use Mathematica. With its superior animations and graphics, and coverage ranging from standard topics to new and unusual extensions and applications, Animating Calculus is a remarkable tool for experiencing and learning about calculus on the computer. Animating Calculus includes: Demonstrating and interactive exercises emphasizing mainstream calculus but including ancillary topics and applications. Focus on important, fundamental ideas and applications rather than the everyday mechanics of a computer algebra system. Sophisticated computer animations that clarify geometric concepts in calculus. Discussions of numerical and graphical pitfalls that stress the importance of verifying results. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
