Synopsis
Graphical Calculus shows you how calculus works through clear, visual ideas you can see on a page. This practical introduction teaches differentiation and integration with a focus on understanding meaning, not just manipulating symbols. It is especially helpful for engineering students who want a concrete grasp of the subject before moving to more abstract techniques.
This edition guides you through curves, coordinates, and the link between graphs and formulas. It emphasizes thinking about problems in real terms and using diagrams to reveal rates, areas, and relationships that underlie calculus.
- See how a changing line or curve generates area and how that relates to the derivative concept
- Learn graphical methods for differentiation and integration that support practical problem solving
- Explore how differential coefficients apply to trigonometric and logarithmic functions
- Build a solid foundation for connecting calculus with other areas of mathematics
Ideal for readers of engineering and students who want a firm, practical grasp of the bare essentials of calculus.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book champions a revolutionary approach to teaching mathematics, advocating for the power of visual learning through graphical methods. Challenging the traditional reliance on abstract equations, the author argues that graphical representations provide a more intuitive and engaging path to understanding complex mathematical principles. Drawing parallels with the absurdity of teaching geography without maps, the author contends that relying solely on mathematical symbols obscures the true meaning and practical applications of concepts like calculus. This book bridges the gap between abstract theory and practical application, empowering students to grasp the physical significance of mathematical processes. Through clear explanations and illustrative examples, the author demystifies challenging topics, making them accessible to students who may have previously struggled with traditional approaches. This book is a valuable resource for anyone seeking a deeper and more intuitive understanding of calculus and its real-world applications. Ultimately, this book demonstrates that mastering mathematical concepts is not just about manipulating symbols, but about developing a genuine understanding of the underlying principles that govern our world.
