Noriko is an aspiring reporter. After her training, she is assigned to a branch of the Asagake Times. Noriko is eager to cover the world's most pressing political and economic issues, but will she have the experience and knowledge to do so? Her immediate boss, Seki-san, has decided to teach her how to analyze events in politics and economics using mathematics.
Reading this book, you will learn the basics of differential and integral calculus together with Noriko and realize that this knowledge will be useful not only for complex scientific calculations. Using real-life examples such as probability of events, supply and demand curves in economics, pollution, and even the density of alcohol in a glass, the author shows that derivatives and integrals help us to understand more deeply the various problems that arise in our lives. You will learn: -what a derivative is and how to use it to determine the rate of change of a function; -how a derivative and an integral are related; -how to integrate and differentiate complex functions; -what partial derivatives are and how to use them to find integrals and derivatives of functions of several variables; o how to use Taylor series expansion to replace a function difficult to analyze with a step polynomial. The book will be useful for high school students, university students, and anyone who is interested in mathematics and wants to make learning easy and fun.
