Hi,
After a year-long break I'll continue studying math this fall.
What I want is some refreshment on calculus. Does anyone know something similar to Feynman's Lectures on Physics, just on calculus? Feynman's books were really fucking awesome and I would like a similar fun read for calculus: derivation/integration, series, and multivar (and beyond, if possible but for now this will suffice).
I'm not really looking for "here's a bunch of formulas for derivation: And here's what Taylor serie looks like:". I already know that. I want to know what goes on under the hood, proofs, dissections, analogies.
Similar question goes for chemistry/biology but I think HN is much more math-oriented.
Suggestions?
N.B.: Most everything in either book will be completely new to you. 1st-year calculus courses have absolutely no interest in teaching you what goes on under the hood; there's just no time. But I think the analogy to Feynman's lectures holds up pretty well.
