| A Calculus Primer |
From the hand and brain of Paul Lutus. "I wish Calculus had a better name. Isaac Newton, one of the people responsible for inventing it, called it "fluxions." That name might alleviate one of the primary obstacles to learning Calculus — people hear the name and experience pure fear. In fact, I understand one may not yell "Calculus" in a crowded theater without risking arrest. I think Calculus knowledge is a right, not a privilege, and I think it's a shame most people in the U.S. never learn it. That's why I wrote these pages — Calculus is a part of life, it describes things in a way no other kind of mathematics can, and it's interesting. Calculus has a property in common with many other skills in life — it is a bit more complicated than picking up a rock. As a result of this, the usual gaggle of self-important drones gather near it, genuflect toward it reverently, and tell you it is too complicated for your minuscule brain. They don't tell you Calculus is an enriching addition to your personal intellectual toolkit — that is not in their interest. Above all, they don't tell you ... it's fun.
