Description

What is calculus really for? It helps tell us how - and why - things change with time. This is the purpose of dynamics, which lies at the heart of much of applied mathematics, science and engineering. Acheson explains why student mathematics is useful by exploring the most interesting ideas of calculus and dynamics from Newton to the present.
