I have an old calculus book. The delightfully sexist title "A Calculus Refresher for Technical Men" -- it's a cold war era relic. A crash course designed to impart the machinery, if not the entire context and meaning of calculus in such a way that you could solve equations, determine trajectories, understand cooling rates, as quickly as possible. It's a part of a vast machine of educational technologies developed to prepare men to use math as a tool in warfare. 1/
