Prologue : what is a function? -- 1. Let's differentiate a function -- Approximating with functions -- Calculating the relative error -- The derivative in action -- Calculating the derivative -- Calculating the derivative of a constant, linear, or quadratic function -- 2. Let's learn differentiation techniques -- The sum rule of differentiation -- The product rule of differentiation -- Differentiating polynomials -- Finding maxima and minima -- Using the mean value theorem -- Using the quotient rule of differentiation -- Calculating derivatives of composite functions -- Calculating derivatives of inverse functions -- 3. Let's integrate a function -- Illustrating the fundamental theorem of calculus -- When the density is constant -- When the density changes stepwise -- When the density changes continuously -- Review of the imitating linear function -- Approximation vs. exact value -- Using the fundamental theorem of calculus -- Using integral formulas -- Applying the fundamental theorem -- Supply curve -- Demand curve -- Review of the fundamental theorem of calculus -- Formula of the substitution rule of integration -- The power rule of integration -- 4. Let's learn integration techniques -- Using trigonometric functions -- Using integrals with trigonometric functions -- Using exponential and logarithmic functions -- Integration by parts -- 5. Let's learn about Taylor Expansions -- Imitating with polynomials -- How to obtain a Taylor expansion -- Taylor expansion of various functions -- 6. Let's learn about partial differentiation -- What are multivariable functions? -- Basics of variable linear functions -- Partial differentiation -- Total differentials -- Conditions for extrema -- Applying partial differentiation to economics -- The chain rule -- Derivatives of implicit functions -- Epilogue: what is mathematics for? -- A. Solutions to exercises -- B. Main formulas, theorems, and functions covered in this book -- Linear equations (Linear functions) -- Differentiation -- Derivatives of popular functions -- Integrals -- Taylor expansion -- Partial derivatives."In The Manga Guide to Calculus, you'll follow along with Noriko as she learns that calculus is more than just a class designed to weed out would-be science majors. You'll see that calculus is a useful way to understand the patterns in physics, economics, and the world around us, with help from real-world examples like probability, supply and demand curves, the economics of pollution, and the density of Shochu."--Page 4 of cover.- Subjects: Graphic novels.; Young adult literature.; Comics (Graphic works); Young adult literature.; Calculus;

- Breakpoint : why the web will implode, search will be obsolete, and everything else you need to know about technology is in your brain / by Stibel, Jeffrey M.(CARDINAL)495607;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 209-239) and index.Introduction, reindeer, networks -- Ants, anternets, manure -- Cannibals, brains, Internets -- Slaves, neurons, the Web -- Bread, mobile, social -- Chiefs, search, context -- Crowds, poets, Shakespeare -- Squirts, profit, traffic -- Pheromones, language, mirrors -- EEG, ESP, AI -- Conclusion, termites, extinction -- Afterword: The Internet is a brain."What can the human brain and its relationship to the internet tell us about our society, our technologies, and our businesses? A lot, as it turns out. The internet today is a virtual replica of the brain, and the networks that leverage it grow and collapse in ways that are easily predictable if you understand the brain and other biological networks. We're living in the midst of a networking revolution. All of the major technology innovations of the 21st century - social networking, cloud computing, search engines, and crowdsourcing, to name a few - leverage the internet and are thus bound by the rules of networks. We've seen the exponential growth of these technologies, and they've led to a more efficient and tightly connected world. But what many people don't realize is that all networks eventually reach a breakpoint and collapse. This happens in the brain, it happens in nature, it happened to MySpace, and it will happen to Facebook and Google. It is critical to understand where the breakpoint is in the networks you use in order to achieve optimum success. Navigating the world of new technologies today can be like walking through a minefield unless you know the path. Imagine what you could do with a roadmap for where things are headed? In this fascinating look at the future of business and technology, neuroscientist and entrepreneur Jeff Stibel shows how the brain can act as a guide to understanding the future of the internet and the constellation of businesses and technologies that run on it. He'll show how leaders like Marissa Mayer are using artificial intelligence to literally remake Yahoo! and how startups like oDesk and Kickstarter are using crowdsourcing, the next wave of revolutionary technology, to create something much larger and "smarter" than the sum of their parts. Stibel offers a fresh perspective about the future of business and technology in a candid and engaging manner"--- Subjects: Internet; Online social networks.; Brain.;
