Differential equations
Very comprehensive take on the subject. Prior knowledge of calculus is obviously going to lead to full comprehension, but calc 1 and 2 seems to be enough to get a thorough understanding. The book is very well written for a beginner like me, and it digs into the subject very smoothly without wasting any time with providing plenty of practical application. Good step by step examples and awesome word problem application with the answers. A deep subject that you can enter in the shallow end and dive as deep as you wish with this text.

Classic read which blows open the doors of the fine-tuning found in Intelligent Design as evidenced in science and nature.
3 of 3 found this helpful This book is a must have for those with skeptical curiosity, scientists, mathematicians, biologists, believers in various forms of evolutionary processes as a sole catalyst for life, apologists, agnostics, Jews, Muslims and Christians.
Written by Christian apologists (giving an answer for the hope that is within them), Frank Turek and Normal Geisler seek to storm the gates of modern academia and challenge the frontier of thought which claims evolutionary process as occurring without interference or initiation by a Diving Being, or Creator.
This text seeks to remain rational in its approach to leading others to see how ancient texts can line up with modern facts, even being complimented by some forms of archeology, geology, and astonishing facts contained in the appraisal of our structured universe
While the subject matter contains Science/Astronomy/Geology/Biology, and also a good deal of Morality, without much room for debate, the later part of the book is an appeal to look at the truth-claims of the gospel of Jesus, and to see if one can really trust the Bible and the ancient witness of manuscripts written thousands of years ago.
This book can bring many scientists to see the precision contained in complex structures of life, (described as 'irreducibly complex"), the unlikely existence of and uniquely placed life on Earth and in the Cosmos, and how many processes of evolutionary change (such as microevolution) do in fact occur even though the term evolution is often 'hijacked' to stretch the facts into evidence for macroevolution (i.e., fish to philosopher). The facts about Earth and outer space listed are simply mind-blowing, with even skeptical readers forced to concede the impossibly low chance of life to have occured and the logical arguements present by Geisler and Turek.
If one isn't inclined to read about Christ, then the multi-section book waits until the very end to begin that analysis, with most of the scientific meat and potatoes sandwiched in the first two-thirds of the book.
All in all, this is an enjoyable read for all walks of life, probably moreso for Christians. Nonetheless, it will only seek to remain objective (even the authors acknowledging that them, the writers themselves, hold bias like any authors do) as it tackles the issue of life, death, morality, and the beginning of it all.
