Hands up everybody who enjoyed calculus in
school. Apasal so few of you? Calculus doesn’t deserve the bad reputation
it gets among students. It’s just like
solving a giant jigsaw puzzle except instead of funny shaped pieces, you get x,
y, z and other variables.
Call me a geek or a weirdo or whatever but
I actually enjoyed calculus very much at school. I also enjoyed physics and chemistry a lot
and my introduction to physics in Form IV sparked off a lifelong love of the
subject. Shhh… but Dear Hubby’s first
ever present to me was a beautiful book on Richard Feynman, my hero. When I discovered we both owned a copy of the
same book “Genius: The Life and Scienceof Richard Feynman” which was a biography of Feynman by James Gleick, it was as
if the stars had aligned in the skies.
Tee-hee.
I suppose having a Maths teacher for a
father made it much easier for me to grasp and love calculus. Nothing beats having your own personal on-call
Maths tutor 24/7 who has a vested interest in making sure you score that A in
Maths.
For everyone else who doesn’t have a father
like mine, you can click here for help. Good
luck with your next calculus test!
