Video Lectures - Change and Motion: Calculus Made Clear
Publisher: Teaching Company, 2005, 24pp, 2nd ed.
One of the greatest achievements of the human mind is calculus. It justly deserves a place in the pantheon of our accomplishments with Shakespeare's plays, Beethoven's symphonies, and Einstein's theory of relativity. In fact, most of the differences in the way we experience life now and the way we experienced it at the beginning of the 17th century emerged because of technical advances that rely on calculus. Calculus is a beautiful idea exposing the rational workings of the world; it is part of our intellectual heritage. Professor Starbird is committed to correcting the bewildering way that the beauty of calculus was hidden from many of us in school. He firmly believes that calculus does not require a complicated vocabulary or notation to understand it.
