AP's 245th book of science-- Overhaul and Revitalization of Calculus, making it breathtakingly simple that High School students master Calculus and more advanced than todays 3rd year college students in calculus
Alright I touched on all of this in my textbook series TEACHING TRUE MATHEMATICS, where I in fact teach calculus in High School.
But the pathetic history of mathematics education is that almost every math professor is kookish about teaching math-- for they seem to not want to make math simple and easy, but just the opposite, make math incomprehensible, so that they "look smart" and everyone else looks dumb because they cannot understand that garbage hieroglyphics on the chalk board.
Part of the problem is how math professors are advanced-- by publishing in journals, leaving their classrooms a disaster of teaching.
What AP has proposed and written about is that Functions of math are not this dumpster full of all kinds of functions. No, the only valid function in mathematics are Polynomials. These are the easiest functions in all of math to do the calculus upon.
So some idiot math professor comes running in and wanting to put sine and cosine on the blackboard. No, no, no, no, no. You foolish idiot math professor in calculus class, convert you kook trig to a polynomial over an interval, then proceed to put that on the blackboard, and the students all happy because all those students can just simply take the Power Rules and have a derivative and integral faster than the math professor can eat a donut and slurp coffee in the math lounge.
This book is a calling demand to overhaul math education from 5 years old to 26 years old graduate school.
No longer should any student in any math class be tortured and driven to nightmares and insanity, all because math education never seems to ever want to make math easy and fun. There is one exception though -- Harold Jacobs and his Mathematics: A Human Endeavor.
