Title: Calculus by and for Young People (Ages 7, Yes 7 and Up)
Description: Champaign, Illinois: Independently Published, 1988. Original wire bound decorated card. Slight browning & light soiling to covers. ; With illustrations. Slight browning & light soiling to covers. ; 10.6 X 13 x 1.1 cms; 177 pages; Calculus by and for Young People (Ages 7, Yes 7 and Up) by Donald Cohen is a unique introduction to calculus designed for children and curious learners of all ages. Rather than relying on traditional formulas and notation, the book uses hands-on activities, visual models, and real-world examples to explore foundational concepts like infinite series, sequences, functions, and rates of change. The book begins with simple, intuitive problems—such as dividing cookies among friends—to introduce the idea of infinite series and limits. For example, a third-grader named Brad attempts to divide six cookies among seven people by halving the remaining pieces repeatedly, illustrating how a series like ½ + ¼ + ? + … approaches a whole. Readers go on to explore concepts such as the harmonic series, Fibonacci numbers, binomial expansion, derivatives, and integrals. The book encourages pattern recognition and iterative thinking, laying the groundwork for understanding calculus. Cohen incorporates physical tools like graph paper, Cuisenaire rods, and geoboards to make abstract ideas tangible. This helps learners visualise mathematical concepts and fosters deeper understanding. Cohen believed that young learners are capable of grasping complex mathematical ideas when presented in an engaging and exploratory manner. His teaching emphasises discovery and intuition over rote memorisation. Though originally published as a spiral-bound edition, the book has also been made freely available online, along with supplementary worksheets and videos. These resources support both independent learners and educators looking to introduce calculus concepts in an intuitive and enjoyable way. Calculus by and for Young People is a valuable resource for anyone interested in making advanced mathematics accessible and enjoyable from an early age.. Very Good with no dust jacket .
