Strain differential calculus

by Gilbert Strang

Strain differential calculusb A book to help students understand differential calculus successfully bMathematics is not a formula, a calculation, a proof, but an idea!Gilbert, a mathematics professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology This book by Strang is for students in natural sciences and engineering who need mathematics as an applied discipline. Rather than focusing on the formulas and calculations of derivatives and integrals, it explains key ideas that can be understood and applied to real cases. It provides a wealth of key examples and exercises that apply calculus to a variety of fields such as physics, engineering, medicine, and economics, helping to understand using a variety of diagrams and charts. This allows us to develop not only mathematical thinking and insight, but also application.
