Calculus

by Dale E. Varberg, Edwin J. Purcell

This the shortest mainstream calculus book available. The authors make effective use of computing technology, graphics, and applications, and provide at least two technology projects per chapter. This popular book is correct without being excessively rigorous, up-to-date without being faddish. Maintains a strong geometric and conceptual focus. Emphasizes explanation rather than detailed proofs. Presents definitions consistently throughout to maintain a clear conceptual framework. Provides hundreds of new problems, including problems on approximations, functions defined by tables, and conceptual questions. Ideal for readers preparing for the AP Calculus exam or who want to brush up on their calculus with a no-nonsense, concisely written book.

buku kalkulus yang dipakai saat kuliah, nmaun yang dalam bahasa Indonesia. (jilid 1 dan 2)...

[Andara Claresta Rabbani · Rating 5 out of 5]

In high school, I often attempted to solve problems from this book in the library, but I wasn't particularly interested in reading the material explanations at the time. That changed when, just before I graduated, my teacher gave me this book.

During my first year at ITB (TPB), the pace of learning was incredibly fast. Realizing this, I decided to start reading and understanding the explanations in this book (especially since several professors used it as a reference:D). And I was right... this book turned out to be a huge help. The explanations are incredibly detailed and structured, often using simple analogies that make it easier to grasp complex concepts.

The problem sets also come in various difficulty levels, making them a great tool for practice. This book helped me tremendously. In my first semester alone, I think I reread the entire conceptual sections more than three times—simply because I found it so enjoyable

Baca ini tahun 2016-2018. Temen survive selama TPB di ITB. Semester 1 BC (Kalkulus 1), semester 2 (Kalkulus 2) karena sibuk dan belajar UTS cuma 2 hari jadinya dapet D (alhamdulillah di ITB nilai D buat TPB masih dianggap lulus), semester 4 (Kalkulus 3) dapet B!
Buku ini bener2 pegangan banget sih buat paham ttg geometri lebih dalem lagi.

Honestly I only read some of the chapters of it, the essentials ones especially. I read this when I was on my 1st and 2nd terms of uni. Quite rigorous and understandable, but I didn't read any other calculus books so I couldn't compare.

Omg finally
Stopped at differential equations
Time to review for the final 150min long exam with NO CURVE

I don't know enough about math to really critique the various emphasises the authors have. But as a text book they do present much application for both the layperson who is "just visiting" and those who will come to become experts later on.

Much of math requires that we "see" the world differently, and understand how to read the symbols given. There is however, a systemic way in which the different mathematical domains are created. There is a set of axial transformations that are central to a "math". While the authors present these at times, they do not emphasize the required structure inherent within mathematics. After they present a transformation in one domain they will do so in others, in other chapters. I suppose the reason why is that their presentation assumes a normative explanation in the Cartestian system and then they show how it is done in other coordinate systems. A more metaphysical presentation (rather than a straight application) would provide a more structured approach. To a college student this arrangement must seem like a series of somewhat vaguely related exercises that are all but random.

But if they were to present the way I am suggesting it would be a different kind of math book, one that might be shorter. There would also be the temptation to show the same transformation (say integrals) in various different domains rather than splitting it into different sections. This might be too much to swallow, IDK.

I was pleasantly surprised to find this book to be clear, straightforward and, most important of all, quite useful. The worked out examples really went an extra mile in making sure that the ideas put forth were clearly explained and, most often forgotten to do, applied. I would definitely recommend it to anyone trying to learn calculus.

Theorically the book is amazing, But if you practice only by its excercises then in my college you get a 0 because they are too basic, and there are some easy ones that they tell you to solve with a calculator. If you want an amazing book I recommend Calculus Leithold

I am ashamed to admit that I probably did read every word/equation out of this text book. Just don't tell anyone.

buku kuliah pertama waktu jaman TPB
ntah apa2 buku ini.. tapi temen2 ku yg di EL, TF, dan aneka teknik lainnya suka baca buku ini.. fiuhhh
untung cuma 2 semester..
