<span style="font-size: 14px;">This book on the basics of Calculus introduces the main concept of the derivative through a short fairy tale and then gets into the calculations. It helps build the conceptual understanding first, and then gets into the details of problem solving.ย </span><br style="fon
<p>How THIS BOOK DIFFERS This book is about the calculus. What distinguishes it, however, from other books is that it uses the pocket calculator to illustrate the theory. A computation that requires hours of labor when done by hand with tables is quite inappropriate as an example or exercise in a be
