reviewed Calculus and Pizza: A Cookbook for the Hungry Mind on July 26, 2010
Calculus and Pizza
This book is 1 part romance, 2 parts humor, and about 97 parts calculus review.
This is basically a watered down accompaniment to a full calculus text book (or 3 - covers all the way from pre-cal through calc III). I enjoyed it because it's a review of one of my favorite subjects from high school. But I honestly don't think I could actually recommend this book to anyone in good conscience.
It's a very dry book. In his attempt to infuse humor, the author pretty much falls flat on his face. He is a mathematician, not a novelist. Furthermore, it's not even a particularly good calculus book. The author keeps things at so high a level to try to cover the whole spectrum of calculus, that each of the chapters are shallow and somewhat lacking.
A mildly entertaining reminiscence of calculus, but not much to speak for otherwise.
