This book encompasses recent developments of variational calculus for time scales. It is intended for use in the field of variational calculus and dynamic calculus for time scales. It is also suitable for graduate courses in the above fields. This book contains eight chapters, and these chapters are pedagogically organized. This book is specially designed for those who wish to understand variational calculus on time scales without having extensive mathematical background.The aim of this book is to present a clear and well-organized treatment of the concept behind the development of mathematics and solution techniques. The text material of this book is presented in a highly readable and mathematically solid format. Many practical problems are illustrated displaying a wide variety of solution techniques.

D'una banda, la resolucio de problemes, a mes de tenir una importancia cabdal en l'aprenentatge de les matematiques, es una metodologia activa d'aprenentatge que estimula l'adquisicio de coneixements i ajuda a desenvolupar competencies. D'altra banda, qualsevol enginyer, a la seva vida professional, es dedicara a aplicar els seus coneixements i les seves competencies a la resolucio de problemes de diversa indole. Per tant, es necessari un entrenament previ. Amb aquest llibre, pretenem posar al vostre abast un recull de problemes i exercicis, suficientment complet i adequat a les vostres necessitats. Volem que us faciliti aquest entrenament previ i us ajudi a assimilar, de forma adequada, la materia que s'imparteix a les classes de teoria de les assignatures de Calcul II dels Graus d'Enginyeries Industrial i Aeronautica de la UPC. El llibre esta dividit en set capitols. Als sis primers hi ha els enunciats dels problemes dels temes classics d'un curs de Calcul Infinitesimal de diverses variables, com son la diferenciabilitat, la integracio i el calcul vectorial. I al capitol 7 s'inclouen les solucions dels exercicis proposats."

"Kiss My Math" meets "A Tour of the Calculus"
Jennifer Ouellette never took math in college, mostly because she-like most people-assumed that she wouldn't need it in real life. But then the English-major-turned-award-winning-science-writer had a change of heart and decided to revisit the equations and formulas that had haunted her for years. "The Calculus Diaries" is the fun and fascinating account of her year spent confronting her math phobia head on. With wit and verve, Ouellette shows how she learned to apply calculus to everything from gas mileage to dieting, from the rides at Disneyland to shooting craps in Vegas-proving that even the mathematically challenged can learn the fundamentals of the universal language.
