Buy Infinite Powers: How Calculus Reveals the Secrets of the Universe by Strogatz, Steven online on desertcart.ae at best prices. ✓ Fast and free shipping ✓ free returns ✓ cash on delivery available on eligible purchase. Review: It is a delicious narrative about the origin of calculus and its importance in our daily life. It is a great book for those not familiar with mathematics. Review: This book is much more than just a history of a branch of mathematics. It's a framework for thinking about calculus. I was mind blown at how Strogatz explains calculus; like I had been blind all those years and now I saw. His 'breaking down and reassembling' analogy may not be the best explanation to the more mathematically inclined, but to me it made perfect sense, at last. This book provided me with a mind model to think about calculus. A gem. "To shed light on any continuous shape, object, motion, process, or phenomenon - no matter how wild and complicated it may appear - reimagine it as an infinite series of simpler parts, analyze those, and then add the results back together to make sense of the original whole."

This book is a must for them who find calculus difficult and not interesting. I am teaching Analysis/Calculus for a while now. I will suggest this book to my students. If you belong to that group then you should give it a read too. This book is very well written with motivations coming from Shrek like animations, not joking, it's true. It's a must buy. As for Amazon's end their delivery is wondeful. Thanks Amazon !
