What Calculus Is About
I remember standing in the college bookstore at the beginning of myfreshman year. I pulled a beginning calculus textbook off the shelf andopened it. What a frightening sight it was.
The pages were filled with strange symbolism like ∫2
x = 0
(4 – x2) dx
and ∂ φ ∂x
= M. It might as well have been in Turkish. No one else in my
family had ever studied calculus, so there was no one to give me anoverview of what lay ahead. All I was told was that anyone who wanted tostudy any of the topics that I was even remotely interested in would wantto have a grounding in calculus. Even business majors going on for amaster’s degree were required to study it.
But that didn’t tell me what it was. I looked at some of theproblems in that old textbook:
11. Find dy/dx for y = sin x.
18. Determine the eccentricity of (y + 5)² + 4(x – 5)² = 1.
22. Solve y' = tanh x
From my trig class I recognized “sin x” and knew that it didn’t havetheological overtones in this context. But I was still at a loss as to whatcalculus was about or why I needed to learn it. Was this stuff useful? Would I find a need for it in my everyday life?
Yes. The book you now hold in your hands shows that everyaspect of calculus can arise in the course of daily living. If you’ve everfallen into a vat of cheese soup (Chapter 19) or tried to run a thousandpounds of ammo through a customs station (Chapter 9) you know what Imean.
So what’s calculus? In a sentence: If it moves at a varying speed, if it has a curvy shape, if it has a maximum that you’d like to find, or if it involves adding up an infinite number of terms,
then you’re probably looking at calculus.

A Note to Students
Hi! This is going to be fun.
When I studied calculus my teacher told the class that we couldreasonably expect to spend thirty minutes per page to master the materialin the old calculus book we used. With the book you are holding in yourhands, you will need two reading speeds: thirty minutes per page whenyou’re learning calculus and whatever speed feels good when you’reenjoying the life adventures of Fred.
This book has five parts to it:
1. The life adventures of Fred2. Your Turn to Play
3. Further Ado
4. Answers5. Index
Start on the first page of the life adventures of Fred and things willexplain themselves nicely.
After 24 chapters you will have mastered all of lower-division(freshman and sophomore) calculus.

A Note to Teachers
This book wasn’t written with you in mind. Instead it was created forthose who will be learning calculus from it. There are a thousandbanal, dignified calculus books with their overwhelming sense of
restraint and propriety that present the material as it has always beenpresented:
definitiontheoremproofcorollarydefinitionlemmatheoremproofdefinition...
with such a lack of excitement that even a rock would be bored.
There is no reason why the study of calculus should have sufferingas its dominant motif—as if our students were children in some Dickensnovel. Not withstanding any objections of the American DentalAssociation, a spoonful of sugar really doesn’t do any harm. In the years Itaught calculus, I often looked out at the faces of the students and thoughtto myself that these individuals are not just Homo habilis (the toolmaker,the worker) but Homo ludens (the playful).
This text will also make your life more pleasant. You haven’t beenforgotten. Here are some secrets between you and me:
1. Cities will be your real friend. Six cities are found at the end of
each chapter in the main text. Each city is a set of problems andquestions which may take your students 20–30 minutes to workthrough. You can assign one or more of the cities as homework. In this Expanded Edition all of the answers to the problems in Cities
are supplied. They will have immediate feedback as to whetherthey’ve mastered the material.

2. The main meat of calculus is found in the first section of thebook which tells of the life adventures of Fred and in theYour Turn
to Play which contains lots of completely-worked-out problems.
Many instructors assign the problems from theYour Turn to Play
section. These provide the graded exercises that many beginningstudents require before tackling the more substantial problems inCities. (Your Turn to Play begins at page A-401.)
3. You can make this course as high-powered as you wish byincluding whatever material you like from the Further Ado section.
(Further Ado begins at page B-441.)
4. Every calculus book leaves out some topics. Very few are leftout of Life of Fred. (Check the index for your favorite topics.)
Furthermore, there are many ideas/topics/themes/presentations thatcan’t be found anywhere else. The rigor is also here with much ofit in the Further Ado section of the book so that you may decide how
much of it you’ll include in the course you’re teaching.
5. On these pages you and your students will find all of calculusfolded into the story of the early years of Fred. The topics ofcalculus arise naturally out of his life experiences.
➢ When Fred and his doll Kingie are playing on thekitchen floor (while his mother makes cookies) he inventsa game to play with Kingie. That game evolves into theMean Value Theorem.
➢ Visiting the buffet at a casino in Oz, Fred and his friendsencounter hyperbolic trig functions wherever they turn.
➢ Line integrals arise naturally when Fred does someinvestigative work at the law library in his attempt to getexpelled from kindergarten.
You might enjoy this book as much as your students do!

Chapter OneFunctions
Once upon a time, a long time ago, on the western slopes of theSiberian Mountains, there lived Fred’s parents. However, theyweren’t called Fred’s parents since Fred hadn’t been born yet. But one day, more recently than a long
time ago, the stork delivered Fred. The luckycouple, Mr. & Mrs. Gauss, discovered that theywere his parents.
At least Mrs. Gauss (rhymes with“house”) thought she was a parent. Staring atFred, she chattered, “Oh, isn’t our baby beautiful!”
Mr. Gauss frowned and said, “He doesn’t look a bit like me.” Mrs.Gauss didn’t get the drift of what her husband was saying. She responded,“Of course he doesn’t. He’s just a little baby, all red and wrinkly, and,besides, he was very young when he was born.” Fred’s father rolled backhis eyes, turned, and left the room.
Mrs. Gauss carried him around a while and then, not knowing whatto do with him, put him back in his crib. She had high hopes that her littletyke would grow up to be a country western singer. After she tucked himin, she handed him a new toy. It was a box with three buttons on it. Eachbutton had an animal printed on it.
When Fred hit the button with the dog on it, the box sounded,“Bow-wow!” When he tried the lion, “Roar!” The duck, “Quack!” Thiswas Fred’s first encounter with the idea of function. He found out thatEVERY time he touched the he heard, “Quack!”
15
Chapter One Functions
Here is how he summarized in his head what he knew about hisanimal-toy function:
1. There are two sets involved: the set of animal buttons
{dog, lion, duck} and the set of animal sounds {Bow-wow, Roar,
Quack}.
2. Every time I hit the lion I get a sound and it’s always
the same sound.
Fred was fascinated by this idea of function. You start with twosets and for each element of the first set there is exactly one element of thesecond set which corresponded to it. Fred looked around his study (crib)and invented a new function. His first set contained the things in his criband the second set was colors. He saw his sheet and that matched up with“white” in the second set. His matched up with “yellow.” The bars
on his crib also matched up with “yellow.” Can two different things be “yellow”? Yes. The only critical thing
for the idea of a function is that each element in the first set have exactlyone image in the second set. It’s okay if two different elements in the firstset have the same image.
Fred thought to himself This is baby stuff! I’m one day old
and I should be able to think of a more sophisticated example of a
function. He thought of his diaper which was in the shape of a right
triangle. He labeled one of the acute angles with the letter A and created
the following function: For any acute angle A, draw a diaper—I mean a
triangle—with one of the acute angles being A.
A
Then Fred continued measure the length of the side opposite and divide
that length by the length of the hypotenuse. When Fred set angle A equal
to 35º, the result of using his function (namely, drawing a triangle with a35º angle and dividing the opposite side by the hypotenuse) gave him aresult of 0.5735764. Fred was very good at measuring lengths. He called
16
Chapter One Functions
this function that he invented the sine function and he wrotesin(35º) = 0.5735764.
But what if he had used a bigger triangle? Would the answer comeout differently? No. He knew he’d get the same answer every time sinceany two right triangles with 35º angles would be similar (something he hadread in his geometry book) and similar triangles are triangles in which thesides are proportional.
Now since every element in the first set, which is the set of allacute angles, has a unique image in the second set, Fred knew that he wasdealing with a genuine function.
When Mrs. Gauss came in to see how Fred was doing, she foundthat he had drawn triangles all over his bed sheets.
As she looked down into Fred’s study and made little “goo-goo-goo” sounds at him, he said, “Mom, let’s play a little game. We’ll call it,Guess the Function.”
Fred continued, “I’m thinking of a function which I’m going to call‘f ’ and I’m going to give you some examples and you try and guess whatthe function is. Are you ready?”
Mrs. Gauss nodded but wasn’t sure what Fred was talking about. Then Fred wrote on a sheet:
f(7) = 15
f(3) = 7
f(6) = 13
f(100) = 201
Mrs. Gauss looked at what he had written. She looked at it for along time. Finally she said, “Are you hungry?”
17
Chapter One Functions
Fred shook his head and gave her some more examples:
f(300) = 601 f(12) = 25
f(0) = 1 f(4.5) = 10Finally after waiting several more minutes, he gave her the “hint”:
f (x) = 2x+1.
He tried to explain to her that a function is any rule whichassociates to each element of the first set exactly one element of thesecond set. The object of the game was to guess the rule.
If you would like to play Guess the Function see page A-401 in Your Turn to Play in the back of this book. If you are reading this book to
learn calculus, and not just enjoy the adventures of Fred, every opportunityfor you to takeYour Turn to Play should be taken. The nice part is that
complete solutions are given for all the questions. The Your Turn to Playis one of the easiest ways to learn calculus.
His mother left the room humming a tune that didn’t seem to havea melody. Fred was alone to think functions some more. He wanted toinvent some more of them.
First, I should think of two sets Fred thought and then I’ll
think of a mapping (which is another name for function) between them.
He cast his eyes around the room and spotted a huge stack of old country
western fan magazines that his mom had stacked up in the corner. We’ll let
that be the first set. (The first set is called the domain of a function.)
From his vantage point in his crib he could see part of the kitchen
counter. On it sat a blender, a coffee pot and a mixer. I’ll let these be
the elements of my second set. (The second set is called the codomain of
a function.) Since a function is ANY rule which associates to each element of
the domain, an element of the codomain, Fred could think of hundreds ofpossible functions:
18
Chapter One Functions
First example: to every magazine with the letter “R” on the frontcover assign those magazines to the coffee pot and all the rest of themagazines assign to the mixer.
Second example: All magazines less than 50 pages long assign to theblender; those with 50–75 pages assign to the coffee pot and the rest to themixer. Then the image of a magazine with 58 pages would be the coffeepot.
Third example: The oldest magazine (which happened to be the July1952 issue) is assigned to the blender. The youngest magazine is assignedto the coffee pot and all the rest are assigned to the mixer. In this caseevery element of the codomain was the image of at least one element ofthe domain. Such a function is said to be onto the codomain. (In Fred’sfirst example, that function wasn’t onto the codomain since no magazinehad the blender as an image.)
Fourth example: Assign all the magazines to the mixer. This, ofcourse, is not onto the codomain. The set of all images of a function iscalled the range of the function. The range of this function is just themixer. If the range equals the codomain, then the function is onto.
That’s a lot of new words and concepts (unless you had them inyour algebra classes). Let’s turn toYour Turn to Play on page A-402 and
play with those ideas until they become a bit more comfortable.(If you want to read more about functions, see page B-441 in Further
Ado in the back of this book. If you’ll read the first three paragraphs on
that page, it’ll explain what Further Ado is all about.)
If you have a yellow highlighter, please color the duck on theprevious pages.
It’s traveling time. We will have theopportunity to visit six cities in the next severalpages. (If you haven’t looked atYour Turn to Play,
these questions will be tougher than they need tobe.)
Good news! Answers for the Cities are supplied right after the six
Cities. If your purpose is to learn calculus, then do the problems first andthen check your answers.
