Description for Approximately Calculus
Hardcover. Calculus is a powerful tool because it allows us to approximate complicated functions with simpler ones. Indeed, replacing a function locally with a linear - or higher order - approximation is at the heart of calculus. Emphasizing the role of approximations in calculus, this book addresses topics such as derivatives, integrals, and sequences. Num Pages: 292 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: PBKA.

Is there always a prime number between $n$ and $2n$? Where, approximately, is the millionth prime? And just what does calculus have to do with answering either of these questions? It turns out that calculus has a lot to do with both questions, as this book can show you. The theme of the book is approximations.
