calculus

Here I'm after all these years and bad memories, learning calculus. Last time I tried, sometime just after the earth cooled, it went very badly, more to do with my poor algebra skills than calculus. The good news is that I seems to have gotten it, at least basic derviatives. The key was...

I've gotten a itch to retread the path of high school physics and more. It's been ages since high school and I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on how best to go through the learning, being this old. I've ordered a course on Calculus from The Teaching Company because people are raving...

I am really annoyed, I wasted like five pounds on a book about Riemann Zeta Hypothesis. See, the book is mostly about the work of people like Littlewood and others and it doesn't mention quantum choas theory. Reading through the various new attempt at proving the Riemann hypothesis seems to use...

Well, can someone explain roughly how you take the derivative off a square root. I know the easy square root bit i.e. x^2 the derivative is 2x. Is their a simple rule like the power rule, however for square roots? I beginning to think the anwser is no, which would make me hate calculus more...

I thought it might be useful to post this here as well - see: http://206.225.95.123/forumlive/showthread.php?p=1270498#post1270498

I have recently read about how BPMS (Business Process Management Systems) have to be based on 'pi calculus' (it was in a paper published by the BPMI). I am a bit skeptical, especially because the concept seemed to complicate the issue (of BPM) whilst claiming to be the way to make it easier. I...

Hey everyone, I come yet again seeking assistance and advice. I am planning on going back to school next summer and taking some engineering courses. Now, my math skills are very rusty and I am aware there will be several calculus course I will have to take. I would like to know of there are any...

HELP! I'm going thru Martin Gardner's upddate of Thompson's "Calculus Made Easy" and there on pg 70 (hardcover) he starts doing alabraic division and I am lost. It seems easy enough from the getgo: differentiate y = u/v. But once you add dy, du, dv things get very complicated.... And I am...

I checked out this book from my library, and read it again (the last time being several years ago). I highly recommend it! Although, and maybe I missed or overlooked it if it was talked about in the book as some puzzle, but it seems that there is an error on the cover of the book. (absence of...

Hi I looking for books or a guide of some kind to help me learn calculus, the snag is I know very little math of any kind. My math is limited to basic Algebra, and I've not used it for so long that I'm a more that a bit rusty. I'm interested in DSP as related to audio, and this requires...
