Customer Reviews

a great book

While this book teaches the "elements" of calculus in a very straightforward manner, the elements taught and the problem examples used are cleverly selected to provide a broad, solid foundation in calculus. Nobel prize-winning physicist Richard P. Feynman taught himself calculus with this book. Some of the techniques used are not commonly seen in today's introductory texts - and are very useful. It is "elementary", but not simplified.
