Misteaks: …and how to find them before the teacher does… 3rd Edition by Barry Cipra (PDF)

Description

An unusual supplement to every calculus textbook, Misteaks and How to Find Them before the Teacher Does is popular with students and teachers alike. Teachers love the way it encourages students to truly think about mathematics rather than simply plugging numbers into equations to crank out answers, and students love the author’s straightforward, tongue-in-cheek style. The title of this light-hearted and amusing book might well have been “Going Gray in Elementary Calculus and How to Avoid it.” Changing the metaphor, Barry has hit the nail on the finger in hundreds of fine examples. –Philip J. Davis, coauthor of The Mathematical Experience. “How I wish that something like this had been available when I was a student!” –Ralph P. Boas, former editor of The American Mathematical Monthly. Bonus: Solution to LeWitt Puzzle

User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review ” Cipra has written one of the most entertaining pieces I have read in a long while. Whether you are in the process of learning calculus or teaching it, using calculus regularly or revisiting it, you will find this book a sheer delight. You will also find a lot of good advice about how to tell when your calculations have gone wrong. -Ross L. Finney, coauthor of Calculus and Analytic Geometry, April 2004 “”… a worthwhile and mind-expanding journey for calculus students.”” -Michael Flake, Math Horizons, November 2005″ About the Author Barry Cipra

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I expected to gain some fresh insight into commonmathematical errors. Instead, I was subjected toextremely mundane mathematical issues that do notat all jibe with my own observations as an instructor.Further, the author is very condescending, giving theimpression he imagines everyone a fool save hisinsightful self. And I don’t object to sharp wit inscientific writings. The problem is that Cipra is apompous bore who does not have any sense for the subtletiesof savvy humor. He comes off instead as a grumpy nerdwho desperately, flailingly strives to be viewed as ahawk-eyed comedian who just happens to know some mathematics.This book is a flop in every way. HIGHLY UNRECOMMENDED.Don’t even waste your 6 bucks.
