Makes Calculus so entertaining and melodramatic while actually teaching it significantly well

بخدا اگه اینو تو مدارس الان درس بدن بچه ها بیشتر ریاضی و معادله و تابع و ... متوجه میشن!
ورژن اسکن شده ی بی کیفیتی داشتم. باید بگردم ببینم کجا میتونم با کیفیتشو پیدا کنم. سایت های معمول مانگا خوانیم که نداشتن.
اگه جایی سراغ داشتید خوشحال میشم بهم بگید. چه برای همین چه برای باقی مانگا های این سری.

While the book didn't happen to explain calculus in the way I best understand it, I think it did do a pretty good job of explaining it. More importantly, I think the book does an excellent job of explaining why calculus is important outside of engineering. I'm not sure if my undergrad requires Calculus for journalism students, but the journalists at the center of this book certainly make an argument for how it can help data-driven journalists derive good first-order approximations for their stories and fact-check data given to them by others. All too often kids fail to glom onto subjects because they can't see how it applies to them in the real world.
I felt this Manga Guide had a better story than the electricity one. It wasn't an amazing story, but it was enough of a story that I was curious to see where it was going. It ends on a pretty good note, I think, given what'd been hinted on throughout the manga.
One thing that threw me for a loop is a few pages from the end when the main character jumps into the ocean because she's so surprised to see someone in the ocean that she forgets herself temporarily. Her shirt becomes wet and you can see her bra. Anyone who's read my reviews knows I'm not a prude. I just found it an odd detail for a comic that was otherwise all business. Certainly nothing to freak about about, it just took me out of the story for a minute.

its fun to read but you can tell it was written by an economist :/
its all written through the lens of an applied mathematician and is full of economic examples that dont make much sense if youve never studied economics

It is my duty to report that a person with no background in "higher" math cannot, in fact teach themselves calculus using only a comic book. This becomes obvious long before the halfway point, and the manga format is occasionally dropped for pages at a time. All available space becomes filled with variables and you are essentially reading a textbook. It turns out, the lack of a manga guide is not the cause of my lack of calculus aptitude.
What I did appreciate, however, was the convenient visualization of what it is that differential and integral calculations actually do. It must be a marvelous thing to hold all those variables in place, because their manifestations are evidently impressive. Math really is a wonderful thing; it's just a shame I'm not accustomed to mathematical reasoning.
The story was cute too. Did I occasionally skip a few equation pages to get back to the funny pictures? Can you blame me?
