Calculus Made Easy: An introduction to differential and integral calculus

Description

“What one fool can do, another can.” So goes the opening of Sylvanus Thompson’s 1914 classic introduction to calculus. The Project Gutenberg edition of this book has long been one of the site’s most popular downloads, and for good reason. This relatively slender volume introduces the reader to differentiation and integration including partial derivatives (chapter 16), double and triple integrals (chapter 18), and simple differential equations (chapter 21). A table of the standard forms of integration and differentiation is included, as well as answers to exercises.This edition has been completely reset with an easy-to-read typeface, a new introduction and an appendix that provides essential background information relating Thompson’s work to the modern foundations of calculus and analysis. Review: Best book I have found to explain calculus. - This book, first published back in 1912, goes through the explanations of calculus in a very easy-to-understand way. I never really understood calculus the way it was taught in college when I was a student 70 years ago, so I read this book very carefully to see whether I could finally understand it. Now I do. it finally makes sense. Perfect for today's student who is confused by calculus. Review: not really as we expected - not really as we expected
