Free calculus : a liberation from concepts and proofs /
Conventional calculus is too hard and too complex. Students are forced to learn too many theorems and proofs. In Free Calculus, the author suggests a direct approach to the two fundamental concepts of calculus - differentiation and integration - using two inequalities. Regular calculus is condensed...
