This hands-on guide makes calculus manageable-- even if it makes you sweat! Ryan leads you step-by-step through each concept, operation, and solution, explaining the "how" and "why" in plain English.

Filled with humorous illustrations as well as lively and absorbing mathematical learning, this calculus comic book requires only a familiarity with high school algebra and a sense of humor. Prof. E. McSquared introduces each concept in differential calculus in the form of a memorable character and helps readers develop their intuitive powers. A lifesaver for struggling students and a treat for the mathematically minded, the book includes helpful exercises...

Nearly 200 problems, each with a detailed, worked-out solution, deal with the properties and applications of the gamma and beta functions, Legendre polynomials, and Bessel functions. The first two chapters examine gamma and beta functions, including applications to certain geometrical and physical problems such as heat-flow in a straight wire. The following two chapters treat Legendre polynomials, addressing applications to specific series expansions,...
