Calculus Expanded Edition is the inaugural book in the Life of Fred University Mathematics series, providing two years of college-level calculus content. This edition includes twenty-four chapters, each concluding with six problem sets (taking approximately 20-30 minutes each) named after various cities. Students can access worked solutions for all city problems in this expanded version. Additionally, the book contains instructions for Your Turn to Play problems located at the end, with randomly assigned numbers to avoid inadvertently viewing answers while checking (e.g., numbered as 45, 888, 500, 317, 923, 71, etc.), and all answers are provided.
The Further Ado appendix offers extra-challenging questions for those seeking more practice. Topics covered in Life of Fred Calculus include Functions, Limits, Speed, Slope, Derivatives, Concavity, Trigonometry, Related Rates, Curvature, Integrals, Area, Work, Centroids, Logs, Conics, Infinite Series, Solids of Revolution, Polar Coordinates, Hyperbolic Trig, Vectors, Partial Derivatives, Double Integrals, Vector Calculus, and Differential Equations.
Life of Fred stands out as a unique and complete math program that uses engaging narratives to teach math concepts in an enjoyable and fear-free manner. Students follow the adventures of Fred Gauss, a math professor who experiences humorous, unlikely, and zany adventures, making math both relevant and omnipresent in his life. This approach entertains and instills a solid understanding of mathematical principles without relying heavily on repetitive drills. It is ideal for curious students who question the relevance of math or anyone seeking a creative approach to mathematical thinking.
This hardcover textbook spans 591 indexed pages and features a Smyth-sewn binding. It is non-consumable, with students expected to write their answers on separate paper. The Expanded Edition includes all answers for the city problems.
