Calculus Made Easy

Calculus Made Easy by Silvanus P. Thompson and Martin Gardner has long been the most popular calculus primer.

This major revision of the classic math text makes the subject at hand still more comprehensible to readers of all levels. With a new introduction, three new chapters, modernized language and methods throughout, and an appendix of challenging and enjoyable practice problems, Calculus Made Easy has been thoroughly updated for the modern reader.

“Calculus Made Easy is arguably the best math teaching ever. To a non-mathematician, its simplicity and clarity reveals the mathematical genius of Newton, Leibniz, and Thompson himself. Martin Gardner deserves huge thanks for renewing this great book.” —Julian Simon, author of Population Matters

“A remarkable and user-friendly approach to the study of calculus, made even more so by Martin Gardner, the most highly acclaimed mathematical expositor of our time.” —R.L. Graham, Chief Scientist, AT&T Labs, and author of Concrete Mathematics
