Mike." One of the references in the index reads, "Lac locus." This relates to a period of time during which Spivak worked with a friend in the Biology Department of Brandeis, dealing with the lac operon, a set of genes whose study won the Nobel Prize for Jacob and Monod. Kowit, who has an autographed copy that reads "For Joel, who read every word, left parenthesis, and subscript. ^ When Spivak receives the galley proofs of Calculus on Manifolds, the manuscript was proofread out loud (for $2/hour) by one of his roommates, J.Spivak joked about naming his book, "Thomas's Calculus" so that students who asked to buy Thomas's Calculus would end up with Spivak's book. ^ When Spivak was writing his Calculus book, the current "popular" book was by Thomas.The book Morse Theory, by John Milnor, was based on lecture notes by Spivak and Robert Wells (as mentioned on the cover page of the booklet). Spivak also wrote The Joy of TeX: A Gourmet Guide to Typesetting With the AMS-TeX Macro Package and The Hitchhiker's Guide to Calculus. Benjamin Inc., 1965 Addison-Wesley, revised edition, 1968), a concise (146 pages) but rigorous and modern treatment of multivariable calculus accessible to advanced undergraduates. Another of his well-known textbooks is Calculus on Manifolds (W. Spivak acknowledged in the preface of the second edition that the work is arguably an introduction to mathematical analysis rather than a calculus textbook. Benjamin Inc., 1967 Publish or Perish, 4th ed., 2008) takes a rigorous and theoretical approach to introductory calculus and includes proofs of many theorems taken on faith in most other introductory textbooks. Spivak also authored several well-known undergraduate textbooks. Steele Prize was awarded to Spivak in 1985 for his authorship of the work. On several occasions, most prominently in Volume 2, Spivak "translates" the classical language that Gauss or Riemann would be familiar with to the abstract language that a modern differential geometer might use. The distinctive pedagogical aim of the work, as stated in its preface, was to elucidate for graduate students the often obscure relationship between classical differential geometry-geometrically intuitive but imprecise-and its modern counterpart, replete with precise but unintuitive algebraic definitions. His five-volume A Comprehensive Introduction to Differential Geometry (Publish or Perish Inc., 1970 2nd ed., 1979 3rd ed., 1999, revised 2005) is among his most influential and celebrated works. Spivak was also the designer of the MathTime Professional 2 fonts (which are widely used in academic publishing) and the creator of Science International. Spivak's book, Physics for Mathematicians: Mechanics I (published December 6, 2010), contains the material that these lectures stemmed from and more. from Princeton University under the supervision of John Milnor, with thesis On Spaces Satisfying Poincaré Duality. from Harvard University in 1960, while in 1964 he received a Ph.D. Spivak was the author of the five-volume A Comprehensive Introduction to Differential Geometry. Michael David Spivak ( – 1 October 2020) was an American mathematician specializing in differential geometry, an expositor of mathematics, and the founder of Publish-or-Perish Press.
