Description of The Calculus Diaries by Jennifer Ouellette PDF

“The Calculus Diaries: How Math Can Help You Lose Weight, Win in Vegas, and Survive a Zombie Apocalypse” is a really great read, even for those who only dabble in calculus. Jennifer Ouellette is the author of this book. She does a nice job of providing examples of how calculus is an essential tool in solving any problems that involve rates of change, especially differing rates of change. Jennifer does a good job of explaining calculus to the layperson, but on the other, she stretches the limits (no pun intended) of where calculus can be used. Certainly, calculus explains scientific phenomena, particularly anything dealing with motion, energy, mass, etc.

But the author basically assumes that calculus can explain anything that involves the concept of change. When dealing with pure scientific and mathematical concepts, the author is at her best and not over the head of the layperson. The appendix treatment of the basic concepts of calculus is outstanding. In short, Jennifer Ouellette takes you on a journey from the craps parables in Lad Vegas to Disney World’s space mountain, from an ancient Greece to the shores of Hawaii, and shows you how calculus applies to them all.
