MAKE CALCULUS - JOAN HORVATH RICH CAMERON KARTO...

When Isaac Newton developed calculus in the 1600s  he was trying to tie together math and
physics in an intuitive  geometrical way. But over time math and physics teaching became
heavily weighted toward algebra  and less toward geometrical problem solving. However  many
practicing mathematicians and physicists will get their intuition geometrically first and do
the algebra later. Make:Calculus imagines how Newton might have used 3D printed models 
construction toys  programming  craft materials  and an Arduino or two to teach calculus
concepts in an intuitive way. The book uses as little reliance on algebra as possible while
still retaining enough to allow comparison with a traditional curriculum. This book is not a
traditional Calculus I textbook. Rather  it will take the reader on a tour of key concepts in
calculus that lend themselves to hands-on projects. This book also defines terms and common
symbols for them so that self-learners can learn more on their own
