C. Henry Edwards was my major professor, who said calculus is understood best with your boots deep in mud looking up at the construct equations define. Our text was a much earlier addition, augmented by a universe of wisdom in an outstanding, advanced applied mathematician. With this you will know calculus so well your book will have Pi jokes in the margin. When you believe you’re done, relaxing with TV, you’ll sit bolt upright when PBS tells you Archimedes found the volume of shapes by slicing them into a whole lot of smaller pieces. OMG, we could have lived 1500 years in the future.
