Acknowledgments The inspiration for this book came from the Shoreline High School 1975 calculus class and its teacher, Mr. Clint Charlson. I am also indebted to my teachers in physics, astronomy, economics, and mathematics at Yale University. My thanks go also to my mother, my sister Marlys, and Mark Yoshimi for their help in reviewing the manuscript, to Ruth Flohn and Mickey Wagner at Barron's for their work editing the book, and to Mary Falcon, editor of the Third Edition, Special thanks also to Susan Detrich for the marvelous illustrations that have done so much to make the book come alive. © Copyrigh 1996, 1988by Baron's Educational Series, Inc. ‘© Copyright 1962 by Barron's Educational Soria, Ine: undat he ble Calowlus by Discovery.
