Change Is the Only Constant: The Wisdom of Calculus in a Madcap World

Calculus, or the study of continuous change, is one of the most notorious topics in math. However, you should believe that with the right math book in hand, even calculus can draw kids to math. This is especially true when having an author like Orlin, who uses "Change Is the Only Constant: The Wisdom of Calculus in a Madcap World" to show you how much calculus is misunderstood. With humor and cute “bad” drawings, he teaches kids that calculus is just another language to express the things they face daily – in this case, change. If your child is ready to learn calculus, don’t think twice about buying this wonderful book.

Brief stories in the book make mathematical functions and theories seem like elementary school calculations. The book proves that math doesn’t have to contain difficult formulas that only geniuses understand, but rather explained throughout stories, that math in fact is more comprehensible than many think.The main focus of the book is calculus, so differential arithmetic and integrals. Integrals, limits, functions, and derivatives tell you more about your daily life than you think.
