How to Enjoy Calculus Eli S. Pine
Publisher: Arco Pub

In the coming weeks we'll delve into the great ideas at the heart of calculus. This experience later lead me to like calculus and maths in general. Let's recall what we mean by pi. When they were bored they invented things like calculus and the Cartesian coordinate system. I wonder how many geniuses like Descartes and Newton we have out there being sequestered by screens. Yes, but this isn't obvious: it's the fundamental theorem of calculus! As I think back to my own senior year of high school, I remember one particular class that my friends and I didn't enjoy: AP Calculus. EVERYTHING (almost) in ALL those courses comes back to haunt you in calculus! It's not like, say, History, where you can take U. In case you haven't seen it, I made a song parody about some of the basic derivatives rules in Calculus to the tune of Ceelo's "Forget you." Enjoy! I just look like a generalist because my path happens to cross many boundaries that are meaningful to others, but not to me. Erez Sh on August 29th, 2008 5:48 am. (It's like saying "Aren't a^2 + b^2 and c^2 the same? History 1-A (beginnings to Civil War) and 1-B (Reconstruction to Present) in either order. But for now I'd like to begin with the first beautiful hints of them, visible in ancient calculations about circles and pi. It's great to hear another person disturbed by the simple-mindedness of popular culture. At my high school, we had the option of taking either AP Calc AB or AP Calc BC. I really enjoyed calculus in high school and college… but it's been 20 years since I studied it. Yes, but this isn't obvious: it's the Pythagorean theorem!").
