Welcome to the innovative world of Make: Calculus, a groundbreaking book designed to transform your understanding of calculus through hands-on learning and exploration. This book is not your typical Calculus I textbook. Instead, it invites readers on an engaging journey through key calculus concepts using creative and interactive methods.

When Isaac Newton developed calculus in the 1600s, he envisioned a way to connect mathematics and physics through intuitive and geometrical understanding. However, as education evolved, the focus shifted heavily towards algebra, often sidelining the geometric aspects that are crucial for a deep understanding of calculus. Make: Calculus aims to bridge this gap by using innovative teaching techniques that echo Newton’s original vision.

The book encourages readers to think geometrically and use practical tools to grasp complex calculus concepts. By employing 3D printed models, construction toys, programming, craft materials, and Arduino technology, Make: Calculus fosters an environment where learning is active and engaging. This hands-on approach not only makes calculus concepts more accessible but also allows for a richer learning experience.

Throughout the book, you will discover hands-on projects that illustrate fundamental calculus principles without relying heavily on algebra. This method ensures that readers can visualize and understand concepts before delving into the algebraic representations. Each project is designed to promote engagement and curiosity, encouraging learners to explore the beauty of calculus in a tangible way.

This book is perfect for students, educators, and anyone interested in mathematics and physics who wants to explore calculus in a fresh and engaging way. It provides a unique perspective that emphasizes understanding over rote memorization, making it an invaluable resource for those looking to deepen their comprehension of calculus.

By integrating creativity with education, Make: Calculus not only makes learning enjoyable but also empowers readers to develop a strong foundational understanding of calculus. Whether you’re a novice or someone looking to reinforce your knowledge, this book will guide you through the fascinating world of calculus with confidence and clarity.

Join the revolution in calculus education today! Experience the joy of learning through hands-on projects that will challenge your mind and inspire your creativity. With Make: Calculus, you’re not just learning calculus; you’re living it.
