Beschreibung
Calculus is the key to a large part of modern science and technology. It is a mathematical method for examining things in motion, and since the entire world is in motion, its discovery was a tremendous breakthrough in mathematics and the study of nature. However, the use of calculus is also a great adventure, as it constantly reveals the deadly infinity lurking at every turn. In the book "Calculus and Its Adventures," experienced author and mathematician David Acheson narrates the story of the emergence of calculus, its development, and its penetration into practically all areas of natural sciences, which it has transformed beyond recognition. As is the author's custom, he illustrates various aspects of calculus and its applications with a colorful array of examples, often bizarre and always entertainingly presented. The book contains many sketches, illustrations, and period documents.
