In the Idea of Limits video, we introduce the idea of limits and discuss how it underpins all of the major concepts in calculus. In the Limit Laws video, we introduce the limit laws and discuss how to ...

IN the second volume of his large treatise on the integral calculus, Mr. Edwards deals with multiple integrals, gamma functions, Dirichlet integrals, definite integrals in general, contour integration ...

The familiar, hierarchical sequence of math instruction starts with counting, followed by addition and subtraction, then multiplication and division. The computational set expands to include bigger ...

A calculus bridge is a hard layer that forms when hard tartar covers multiple teeth. Regular brushing and flossing can prevent calculus bridges, but once they have formed, they can only be removed by ...

In the late 19th century, Karl Weierstrass invented a fractal-like function that was decried as nothing less than a “deplorable evil.” In time, it would transform the foundations of mathematics.

Wolfram|Alpha: The makers of Mathematica (a very powerful mathematical software package, popular amongst applied mathematicians and engineers) bring us a "google-like" mathematical search engine. In ...

A rare look at the history and logic of calculus, how it was invented and developed, and what it reveals about the universe, the planet, its creators -- and, well, all of us Calculus is one the most ...
