Calculus in the Real World

People often ask "How do I use calculus in the real world?". In this video I will show you a book that discusses how calculus shows up everywhere in our daily lives. It is titled Everyday Calculus: Discovering the Hidden Math All around Us and it was written by Oscar Fernandez.

I literally saw this book in the library yesterday, this is a sign that I have to pick it up…

Awesome book! you might also want to check similar type of books such as 'How Not To Be Wrong' and 'Shape' by Jordan Ellenberg as well as 'Whats the Use' by Ian Stewart. They made math really 'reachable' and interesting because its applications to real world were highlighted and made sense.

"Wake Up and Smell the Functions"?
One time I studied trigonometry so hard that I not only started dreaming about it, but when I looked at my digital clock i saw a trigonometry expression instead of the actual time. I remember it being a tangent.

I have a similar book written by Isaac Asimov, a 3 volume set in a single book called Understanding Physics and he uses layman's language to explain physics in everyday life. Great read. For a more of a sci-fi writer, I was surprised he actually wrote a Physics book. This book on maths also sounds like an interesting read tho too. Thanks for sharing 🙂

My biggest problem in learning Math is understanding how and when to apply it to solve real world, unprepared problems. Most of my effort goes into learning theorems and solving hundreds of equations.

[MatrixSanAndreasOfficial]

I really need this type of books nowadays. Thanks for your advice sir!

Doing robotics homework while watching this and hearing you speak Spanish caught me off guard. love your videos I always feel smarter by just listening to you talk.

Qué bonita dedicatoria, realmente se siente el amor a su esposa y su hija.
I think that's enough to convince me to try to read it, and also seems really interesting.

Oh this is beautiful and literally "phenomenal."

It takes phenomena from every day and models it with Calculus. The basic Physics that appears is also delightful. I'm picking it up.

Having this comment liked by The Math Sorcerer who feels famous by association for having interviewed somebody who commented on a book, would make me feel famous by association as well. 🤞

Nice addition to variety. I recommend 1 Stories of Maxima and Minima by Tikhomirov 2 Calculus of Friendship by Steven Strogaz

If only all school maths books and classes were this relatable to the real world

I saw this book somewhere. I think in my library but last night, I found a book (which I forgot I bought or somebody put it there in 2013, 😂Time traveled🤔.) The book is, "Modern Calculus and Analyric Geometry by Richard A Silverman. It is a paperback, very thick 1038 pages. I have been reading it all morning. I think you may have mentioned Silverman recently. It exlpains sets and functions the best I ever read. I want to thank you so much bc you have the best math and such great, motivating advice. You ARE famous to me. (I love your funny, short comedy movie. 😊 ❤

Another delightful book I recommend for you to get are the "History of Greek Mathematics" by the Loeb Classical Library as well as the Oliver Byrne edition of Euclid.

The former is a compendium of very important results in Greek Mathematics and demonstrates the Greek methods to obtaining that. It's very nice not only from a mathematical but also humanities standpoint to see how Greeks approached reality while the math is still the same.

The latter is a version of Euclid's Elements except the letters are replaced with colors.

thank you for making this video and exposing the existence of this book!

i am buying it ✌️ Hung

An amazing book to augment traditional textbooks. What really happens each day!

[ruevictorhugo]

I love the table of contents! I need this book. Thanks so much for telling us all about it. It’s my birthday on Tuesday so I just ordered it. 🎂

Nice book. My simple contribution for the development of mathematics: What is the analytical solution for ax^(2+e)+bx+c=0 with ‘e’ being a real number? The solutions are
x1=(b/(az))Wq(((-c/b)^z)(a/b)z)^(1/z), where z = (1+e) and q = 1-1/z.
x2 = where y = (2+e)/(1+e) and q = 1+y
Wq is the Lambert-Tsallis function (a generalization of the Lambert function). Sometimes the correct solution is x1, in other cases the correct one is x2 and there are cases where x1 = x2, depending on the values of a, b and c. For example, the solution of
x^(2.01)-x-1 = 0 is x1 = 1.6125 (up to 4 decimals).
While the solution of
x^(2.5)+x-1 = 0 is x1 = x2 = 0.6540 (up to 4 decimals).

Ordering this NOW!!! What a fabulous review!
