Marx Demystifies Calculus (Triangle Papers) Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: Grandoise claims
Comment: The title is a bit misleading; this book represents Marx's efforts to put Calculus on a sound, rigorus footing.

As a mathematician, I have to say that Marx succeeds only in moving the handwaving from one area to another.

If the author was not a mathematician, he should have made an attempt to familarize himself with the actual rigorization of Calculus in the nineteenth century (in, for example, the work of Cauchy). If the author was a mathematician, he most certainly should have known better.

I cannot recommend this book to anyone who does not have a solid understanding of mathematics.
