| Beschreibung: | Includes bibliographical references and index The Calculus of Friendship is the story of an extraordinary connection between a teacher and a student, as chronicled through more than thirty years of letters between them. What makes their relationship unique is that it is based almost entirely on a shared love of calculus. For them, calculus is more than a branch of mathematics; it is a game they love playing together, a constant when all else is in flux. The teacher goes from the prime of his career to retirement, competes in whitewater kayaking at the international level, and loses a son. The student matures from high school math whiz to Continuity (1974-75) -- Pursuit (1976) -- Relativity (1977) -- Irrationality (1978-79) -- Shifts (1980-89) -- Proof on a place mat (March 1989) -- The monk and the mountain (1989-90) -- Randomness (1990-91) -- Infinity and limits (1991) -- Chaos (1992-95) -- Celebration (1996-99) -- The path of quickest descent (2000-2003) -- Bifurcation (2004) -- Hero's formula (2005-present) |
