Calculus without Limits is an original exposition of single-variable calculususing the classic differential approach. Written in an engaging, popular styleby an award-winning teacher, Calculus without Limits is thefirst completely new calculus book tohit the shelves in 95 years that deliberately minimizes the useof limits, one of the major stumbling blocks /5(11).

Calculus can truly be used without limits. In fact, limits did not exist when calculus was invented. Sparks' book is wishy, lacks rigour and is somewhat disappointing. Poetry has no place in mathematics, only cold, hard facts. Unfortunately, Sparks' book falls short in many places because it indirectly uses the exact methods used in the process /5(10).

Calculus without limits uses an innovative approach to teaching calculus by showing you all the tricks used to solve problems and pass exams. Each chapter is packed with examples solved in complete detail, followed by questions which reinforce learning and alert you to Author: David McMahon.

All things considered in the book can be recommended to undergraduate students as a good readable introduction to the fascinating world of q-analysis." (J.

Cigler, Monatshefte für Mathematik, Vol. (3), ) "Simply put, quantum calculus is ordinary calculus without taking limits. The subtitle —Almost refers to the fact that the book is not entirely without limits. Section provides an intuitive and modern explanation of the limit concept. From that starting point, limits are used thereafter in a handful (quite literally) of key arguments throughout the book.

Now for the bad news. One, Calculus Without Limits is a. Published in and still in print from Wellesley-Cambridge Press, the book is a useful resource for educators and self-learners alike. It is well organized, covers single variable and multivariable calculus in depth, and is rich with applications.

Calculus without Limits is his first full-length mathematics work; and, with its Author: John C. Sparks. Calculus Without Limits. Post date: 02 Nov Introduces differentiability as a local property without using limits.

The course is designed for life science majors who have a precalculus background, and whose primary interest lies in the applications of calculus. In that book, I showed that the resulting quasi truth-functional logic is a quantum logic, thus enabling the derivation, from first principles, of the key postulates of quantum mechanics.

So the difficulty in understanding quantum Calculus without limits.Sparks' book, "Calculus Without Limits: Almost," is a very intuitive approach, geared very much to the prospective working scientist, but short on the kind of proofs that mathematicians would insist on.

Of the three, I think Sparks' book was, up to now, the best for teaching that I've seen. But after looking at Comenetz' book, I prefer it.Calculus Without Limits by John C. Sparks - Sparrow Hawk Treasures Original exposition of single-variable calculus using the classic differential approach.
