The following is the review of this book by Phylis and Philip Morrison in the Dec. '88 issue of Scientific American
"Trying to divide six cookies fairly among seven people? Third-grader Brad had the right idea: cut each one in half, share out as many as you can; again halve the pieces not shared until there are pieces enough to share, and continue. He quit at sixteenths, amidst lots of crumbs. But he could see that everyone got 1/2 +1/4 + 0/8 + 1/16 + 1/32 + 0/64 . . . of a cookie. The sum is not hard to express in terms of a more familiar series, once you notice that the missing portion of unity is itself a geometric series for 1/[1 - (1/8)]. Iteration is more powerful and more intuitive than dividing a round cookie into seven equal parts. This spiral-bound book the size of your hand reports with infectious enthusiasm the work of many beginners in one fine teacher's class over the decades, some of them highly gifted kids and some of them grown-ups with no particular mathematical bent. All were on their way to an understanding of slope and integral, natural logarithm and exponential. En route a good many famous problems were encountered, among them the proof of the snail-like divergence of the harmonic series (its first million terms add up to about 13.4, a sum given here to a dozen decimals), the Fibonacci sequence in pineapples and that glorious relation among, e, i, pi, and 1.

The Elements of Calculus
Calculus is the foundation of the modern mathematics of physics and engineering Calculus was invented by Newton and Leibnitz at the end of the 17th century. While algebra had been an important addition to mathematics in the immediately preceding centuries, it provided mainly a notational convenience. A very significant convenience, to be sure, but it did not provide much additional power to mathematical investigations. Calculus, however, changed mathematics radically, and possessed great power and range, in practical matters as well as theoretical. Calculus involves a convenient representation of certain limiting processes, which were hinted at in earlier mathematics, but were very difficult to use, and then only in particular problems. In the educational curriculum for science and engineering, calculus forms a bridge between elementary mathematics, such as geometry, algebra and trigonometry, and advanced mathematics, such as differential equations, vector analysis and complex variables. In this position, it has other duties to perform other than simply introducing its elements. To begin the study of calculus, concepts of function, continuous function and limits are necessary, as well as some idea of the nature of mathematical proof. During the course, the student also should be introduced to the theory of curves, infinite series, power series, elementary functions, convergence, Fourier series, and other topics, as examples to which calculus can be applied. Finally, the course should foster manipulative skills, and even introduce numerical methods, such as differencing and quadrature. In all this, the central idea of calculus tends to be obscured.

MT1121 Calculus A core course unit for first year Mathematics Mathematics with another subject and Joint Honours Mathematics students.
General Details Credit Rating: Level: Level One Delivery: Semester One Lecturer: Prof. Reg Wood (Telephone 55849, email:reg@ma.man.ac.uk.) General Description
The first part of the course unit is concerned with the exponential function, the log function, the hyperbolic functions and their inverses. There follows a review of the basic techniques of differentiation with applications to graph sketching. The trigonometric functions are introduced in terms of power series and their relationship to the exponential function explored. The next major topic is a review of the basic techniques of integration. Towards the end of the course a number of questions about power series are treated more fully and finite Taylor expansions are applied to approximation of numbers. The last chapter contains some miscellaneous applications of calculus to variational problems, max-min problems, lengths of curves, areas and volumes of solids of revolution and the Newton-Raphson method of solving equations. Note . The contribution of this course to the Study Skills course will be an exercise in the use of MATLAB for performing some task in calculus. Aims To raise the standard of basic calculus skills to that required by second semester and intermediate level course units.

The Introductory Physics Series
The Physics Department offers three entry-level physics courses, the 20 series, the 50 series, and the 60 series. These series are designed for the science and engineering majors that require different levels of physics study. However, all students who have an interest in learning physics are encouraged to take the course that best fits their background. All 20, 50, and 60 series courses are Area 2 courses.
The 20 Series
Physics 21, Mechanics and Heat, offered autumn
Physics 23, Electricity and Optics, offered winter
Physics 25, Modern Physics, offered spring The 20 series is a year-long sequence intended for general, premedical, and biological sciences students. This sequence covers most of the basic topics in physics including motion, forces, energy, electricity, magnetism, heat, optics, relativity, and atomic theory. Calculus is an important tool to all physics study, including the 20 series; however problems in the 20 series will not rely extensively on an in-depth knowledge of calculus and much of the calculus will be developed by the professor as needed. So, exposure to calculus is helpful and recommended but not absolutely necessary.

The most important of these are the many students, primarily the women undergraduates at Mills College to whom I have taught calculus during the past 23 years: by balking at the apparently paradoxical definitions and concepts that I accepted so glibly when I was a student, they pushed me to search for the deeper directions of the path along which I wanted to lead them through the mathematics. Over the years, I began to see that when the students did not seem to understand some concept, it was less the result of any inherent difficulty in that concept than of my failure to demonstrate the necessity of introducing the complications.

    Objectives of the Module
    The goal of the course is to show why calculus has served as the principal quantitative language of science for more than three hundred years. How did Newton and Leibniz transform a bag of tricks into a powerful tool for both mathematics and science? Why is calculus so useful in geometry, physics, probability and economics? Why are mathematicians so concerned with rigor in calculus? Since calculus is about calculating, what is the relationship between calculus and computers? What is the relationship between calculus and new topics like chaos and nonlinearity? If you want to understand what calculus is really about, then this is the course for you.
    Topics to be Covered
    Ancient peoples, driven by natural curiosity and the demands of applications, confronted the problems of finding areas and volumes of various shapes. Their methods of solving these problems may be regarded as precursors to integration . Outstanding in this regard was the work of the Greeks, exemplified by Archimedes' solutions to numerous problems of quadrature, and the works of the Chinese mathematicians Liu Hui and Zu Chongzhi. Concepts resembling differentiation did not arise until much later.

    Abstract
    In 1995 Prof. Brian Stone of UWA and I had a simple network-based tutorial system set up for Engineering Dynamics. The facility used by the students was a laboratory of 128 Macintosh LC computers which was jointly owned with the Mathematics Department. As a result the Mathematics Department saw what we were doing and thought perhaps it might work for first-year Calculus. Kevin was asked to generate some problem sets for Calculus. Being a true mathematician Kevin was not satisfied with the crude approach used in our problem sets, and instead he began to think more generally about how to offer a student diagnostic feedback for errors.
