Is this like Spivak for toddlers? Do they do epsilon delta proofs using connect the dots?

This book bridges the gap from kindergarten mathematics to Rudin exceedingly well. It is written in a very conversational style- something that many books at this level lack. The author actually wants you to learn, as opposed to Rudin who just throws theorems at you. The exercises are at the right level; hints are provided for the more difficult problems. Master this text and then follow up with Rudin.

Jeebus, there is a whole series of these things: Non-Euclidean Geometry for Babies, Web Design for Babies (that is particularly horrifying) ...

We really don't have childhood anymore, do we?

I would first like to commend Omi M. Inouye for taking on the challenge of introducing calculus to infants. It is a bold and innovative approach that has the potential to shape young minds and foster a love for mathematics from an early age.

The title alone, "Introductory Calculus For Infants", sparks curiosity and intrigue. It immediately challenges the traditional notion that calculus is a complex and difficult subject that can only be understood by older students.

I am also impressed by the Amazon link provided, which shows that the book has garnered positive reviews and has been well-received by readers. This further emphasizes the potential impact and success of Inouye's approach.

I believe that introducing calculus to infants has the potential to lay a strong foundation for their future understanding of mathematics and problem-solving skills. It can also help develop their critical thinking abilities and analytical reasoning from a young age.

I am excited to see how this book will contribute to the field of early childhood education and mathematics. I hope that it will inspire other educators and parents to explore unconventional methods of teaching and learning. Overall, I am intrigued and impressed by the concept of "Introductory Calculus For Infants" and look forward to reading it myself.
