Product Description

Review

'Martin Gardner is one of the great intellects produced in this country.' - Douglas Hofstadter

'For more than half a century, Martin Gardner has been the single brightest beacon defending rationality and good science.' - Stephen Jay Gould

Product Description

Calculus Made Easy has been a classic introduction to the subject ever since it was first published by Silvanus P.Thompson in 1910.
In the first major revision of the text since 1946, Martin Gardner - the 'Mathematical Games' columnist for Scientific American and author of over 50 books and innumerable articles - has thoroughly updated the text to reflect recent developments in method and terminology, written an extensive preface and three new chapters, and added more than 20 recreational problems for practice and enjoyment. He has transformed this classic primer into a modern masterpiece that explains the timeless concepts of calculus in a contemporary and user-friendly voice.

5.0 out of 5 stars A review of great praise towards this magnificent work..., 29 Oct 2000
By 
pmc1@st-and.ac.uk (St. Andrews, Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Calculus Made Easy (Paperback)
This book was written way back in 1910 by a Fellow of the Royal Society. However, unlike Newton's works (he was also a member) this is extremely lucid.

The essence of this work is that anyone can do calculus. Moreover, since the fools that are university professors can do it, so can you or I. The book begins with an amusing prologue about the stupidity of the mathematical teaching establishment and how it likes to show off with its amazing ability by portraying calculus as a difficult art. The author had to 'unteach himself the difficulties' and undertakes to explain them as clearly as possible. And that he does. From personal experience, before reading this book my maths grades were in the toilet - almost immediately after I read and understood it, my grades trebled. This is because the book is the best explanation of calculus I have ever seen or heard of. This was also the favourite of an eminent American physicist who read this book himself, and went on to win the Nobel Prize in 1965. The concepts are reduced to their bare (understandable) bones, and built up again leading to some great understanding of the calculus, and a confidence to approach mathematics. This book really is a MUST for all A-level students of maths - you may as well throw your textbooks in the bin. Good work Mr. Thompson!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Magnificant work., 11 Jan 2004
This review is from: Calculus Made Easy (Paperback)
I have a number of texts on the calculus andgeneral maths and this book, written originally in 1910, but recently edited by Martin Gardener) stands head and shoulders above all the introductory texts, for introducing calculus in an understandable way, slice by slice. Also, the book being a small paperback fits into one's pocket unlike many/most texts on calculus!!!

This review is from: Calculus Made Easy (Paperback)
This is a very good mechanical look at calculas from the perspective on an engineer, he is much more interested in the how than the why.
