You must be one of the following types of people. The first type is someone who just loves manga and thinks, “Calculus illustrated with manga? Awesome!” If you are this type of person, you should immediately take this book to the cashier— you won't regret it. This is a very enjoyable manga title. It's no ‘surprise—Shin Togami, a popular manga artist, drew the manga, and Becom Ltd., a real manga production company, wrote the “But, manga that teaches about math has never been very enjoyable,” you may argue. That's true. In fact, when an editor at Ohmsha asked me to write this book, I nearly turned down the opportunity. Many of the so-called “manga for education” books are quite disappointing. They may have lots of illustrations and large pictures, but they aren't really manga. But after seeing a sample from Ohmsha (it was The Manga Guide to Statistics), 1 totally changed my mind. Unlike many such manga guides, the sample was enjoyable enough to actually read. The editor told me that my book would be like this, too—so I accepted his offer. In fact, I have often thought that I might be able to teach mathemat- ics better by using manga, so I saw this as a good opportunity to put the idea into practice. I guarantee you that the bigger manga freak you are, the more you will enjoy this book. So, what are you waiting for? Take it up to the cashier and buy it already! ‘Now, the second type of person is someone who picked up this book thinking, “Although I am terrible at and/or allergic to calcu- lus, manga may help me understand it.” If you are this type of per- son, then this is also the book for you. It is equipped with various rehabilitation methods for those who have been hurt by calculus in the past. Not only does it explain calculus using manga, but the way it explains calculus is fundamentally different from the method used in conventional textbooks. First, the book repeatedly Xi PREFACE: presents the notion of what calculus really does. You will never understand this through the teaching methods that stick to limits (or c-8 logic). Unless you have a clear image of what calculus really does and why it is useful in the world, you will never really under- stand or use it freely. You will simply fall into a miserable state of memorizing formulas and rules. This book explains all the formu- las based on the concept of the first-order approximation, helping you to visualize the meaning of formulas and understand them easily. Because of this unique teaching method, you can quickly and easily proceed from differentiation to integration. Further- more, I have adopted an original method, which is not described in ordinary textbooks, of explaining the differentiation and integra- tion of trigonometric and exponential functions—usually, this is all Greek to many people even after repeated explanations. This book also goes further in depth than existing manga books on calculus do, explaining even Taylor expansions and partial dif- ferentiation. Finally, I have invited three regular customers of calculus—physics, statistics, and economics—to be part of this book and presented many examples to show that calculus is truly Practical. With all of these devices, you will come to view caleulis not as a hardship, but as a useful tool. Iwould like to emphasize again: All of this has been made possible because of manga. Why can you gain more information by reading a manga book than by reading a novel? It is because manga is visual data presented as animation. Calculus is a branch of mathematics that describes dynamic phenomena—thus, calew- lus is a perfect concept to teach with manga. Now, turn the pages and enjoy a beautiful integration of manga and mathematics.

Let's assume the x value that maximizes the profit P(x) is the quantity of production s. Accompany wants to maximize its profits.

The rectangle bounded by these four points (p,. A, s,, and the origin) equals the price multiplied by the production quantity.

The shaded part of the graph is equal to the integral— equation ©. But also look at Figure 2-B, which shows the distance Futoshi has traveled over time. If we look at Figures 2-A and 2B side by side, we see that the integral of the velocity is equal to the difference in position (or distance)! Notice how the two graphs match— when Futoshi velocity is posi- tive, his dis Distance tance increases, and vice versa. ‘The Caleulus News-Gazette Free Fall from Tokyo Tower How Many Seconds to the Ground? It’s easy to take things for granted— consider gravity. If you drop an object from your hand, it naturally falls to the ground. We can say that this is a motion that changes every second—it is accelerating due to the Earth's gravitational pull. Thi motion can be easily described using calculus. But let's consider a bigger drop—all the ‘way from the top of Tokyo Tower—and find out, "How many seconds does it take an ‘object to reach the ground?” Pay no atten- tion to Futoshi's remark, "Why don't you go to the top of Tokyo Tower with a stopwatch and find out for yourself?" The increase in velocity when an object is in free fall is called gravitational acceleration, or 9.8 mis*. In other words, this means’ that an object's velocity increases by 9.8 m/s every second. Why is this the rate of acceleration? Well, let's just assume the scientists are right for today. Expression © gives the distance the object falls in T seconds, Since the integral of the velocity is the difference in position (or the distance the object travels), equ: tion @ can be derived. Look at Figure 3— we've calculated the area by taking half of the product of the x and y values—in this case, % x 9.8t x f. And we know that the height of Tokyo Tower is 333 m.

Here, we should realize that the left side of this expression is the same as single-variable differentiation. In other words, if we substitute b for y and keep it constant, we obtain f(x, b), which is a function of x only. The left side of @ is then the calculation of finding the derivative of this function at x = a. Although we are very much tempted to write the left side as f(a, b) since itis a derivative, it would then be impossible to tell with respect to which, x or y, we differentiated it So, we write “the derivative of f obtained at x = a while y is fixed at b” as f(a, b). Jeers, J, 18 called “the partial derivative of fin the direction of x". This is the notation corresponding to the “prime” in single-variable differentiation. a The notation gy (a, b), that corresponds to 5x, is also used. In short, we have the following: “The derivative of fin the direction of x obtained at x = a while y is fixed at b" J.(ab)=Z (a,b) also writen as | [ = Slope of DE In exactly the same way, we can obtain the following. “The derivative of fin the direction of y obtained at y = b while x is fixed at a” PARTIAL DIFFERENTIATION 103, We have now found the following.

A displacement of distance ¢ in this direction is expressed as (a, b) (a+ at, b+ fit).

Thus, we have shown “the relative error > 0 when AP > 0 in any direction.” It should be noted that f, must be continuous to say f,(a, b + fit) - f,(a, b) = 0 (t ~0). Unless it is continuous, we don’t know whether the derivative exists in every direction, even though f, and f, exist. Since such functions are rather exceptional, however, we won't cover them in this book.

Vo is given by ar, ar=¢ ag dL =-ng*Ldg+ ng *L db Thus. AT =-ng *L?Ag+ng *L?AL Substituting Ag «0.029, = 0012, we ge AT =0.02rg *L?g + 0.01xg *L?L = 00029"! ~003! «01st So T increases by 1.5%. 3. Ifwe suppose y = h(x) is the implicit function of flx, y) = ‘Thus, since the left side is a constant in this region, flx, h(x)) = ¢ near x. From the chain rule formula SOLUTIONS TO BxERcisES 229
