Synopsis

A child's first look into the world of advanced partial differential equations and the Bessel function for 2nd order elliptic cases. Great for precocious children, parents, and mathematics professors.

The first book in the Baby Mathematician series.

Ideal for kids and parents aged 1-99, "Baby's First Bessel" is a wonderful resource for parents who want to inspire a love of mathematics early on in their child's life, and also for non-baby mathematicians looking for a unique way to introduce advanced calculus topics to young and old learners alike.

Each page is filled with colorful illustrations and simple narrative-driven explanations that demystify the Bessel function in the context of jumping on a trampoline, inspired by Mark Kac's 2012 "Can One Hear the Shape of a Drum?" making Bessel functions engaging and exciting for young learners.

Warning: I did not shy away from including actual equations and simple derivations (e.g. separation of variables) in this book, so please read at your own risk.
