| An
unusual supplement to every calculus textbook, Misteaks and How
to Find Them before the Teacher Does is popular with students
and teachers alike. Teachers love the way it encourages students to
truly think about mathematics rather than simply plugging numbers
into equations to crank out answers, and students love the author’s
straightforward, tongue-in-cheek style. Calculus teachers will be
thrilled to learn that this favorite book is now back in print for
the first time in a decade. Reviews of the second edition:“Barry
Cipra has written one of the most entertaining pieces I have read
in a long while. Whether you are in the process of learning
calculus or teaching it, using calculus regularly or revisiting it,
you will find this book a sheer delight. You will also find a lot
of good advice about how to tell when your calculations have gone
wrong.” -Ross L. Finney, coauthor of Calculus and Analytic
Geometry“. The title of this light-hearted and amusing book might
well have been ‘Going Gray in Elementary Calculus and How to Avoid
it.’ Changing the metaphor, Barry has hit the nail on the finger in
hundreds of fine examples.” -Philip J. Davis, coauthor of The
Mathematical Experience“How I wish that something like this had
been available when I was a student!” -Ralph P. Boas, former editor
of The American Mathematical Monthly. Bonus: Solution to LeWitt
