520    "How can calculus help you survive the zombie apocalypse? 
       Colin Adams, humor columnist for the Mathematical 
       Intelligencer and one of today's most outlandish and 
       entertaining popular math writers, demonstrates how in 
       this zombie adventure novel. 'Zombies and Calculus' is the
       account of Craig Williams, a math professor at a small 
       liberal arts college in New England, who, in the middle of
       a calculus class, finds himself suddenly confronted by a 
       late-arriving student whose hunger is not for knowledge. 
       As the zombie virus spreads and civilization crumbles, 
       Williams uses calculus to help his small band of survivors
       defeat the hordes of the undead. Along the way, readers 
       learn how to avoid being eaten by taking advantage of the 
       fact that zombies always point their tangent vector toward
       their target, and how to use exponential growth to 
       determine the rate at which the virus is spreading. 
       Williams also covers topics such as logistic growth, 
       gravitational acceleration, predator-prey models, pursuit 
       problems, the physics of combat, and more. With the aid of
       his story, you too can survive the zombie onslaught. 
       Featuring easy-to-use appendixes that explain the 
       mathematics necessary to enjoy the book, 'Zombies and 
       Calculus' is suitable for recent converts to calculus as 
       well as more advanced readers familiar with multivariable 
       calculus"--|cProvided by publisher.
