Outline
Mapping Diagrams Take on Calculus and Complex Variables
HSU Mathematics Department Colloquium
Feb 5, 2015
Visualizing functions with mapping diagrams has been a recurrent theme and a central passion for me over many years. In this presentation I'll demonstrate some of my more recent assaults on the challenges of differential and integral calculus and even the study of functions of a complex variable using mapping diagrams.
Knowledge of at least one semester of calculus will be presumed.
