Bulent Basaran: What's change? Moon and sun seemingly going around us, in time and space... The cells of our body changing through the complex metabolism within as they interact with their environment, and finally, our thoughts changing from how can I grab the best toy in the playground to how do we share the wonders of this planet and the universe... Change seems to be universal, physical as well as biological and social and mental.

And all of that we can describe using the eternal language of math and calculus, as we go about discovering its constant and infinite continents that we seem to have imagined out of nothing starting with numbers, "real" and truly imaginary, and ideal shapes and forms, points lines circles parabolas cubics spheres vectors matrices and graphs...

Reading this book, you'll get the insiders insights into how math makes physical theories work without being bored with its technical details. The devil may be there in the latter, but, the real understanding and joy is within you and this book points to them.

This nonfiction book, for me, was a page- turner, like a Dan Brown murder/thriller/mystery. And this despite many years of advanced...

Rex Tranquilli: I’ve only read the introduction so far and I can already tell this is going to be a great book. I already love it and I can’t put it down but then again I’m an Applied Math major so maybe that’s why it’s so interesting to me.

Flipping through the book there are some photos and diagrams but based on his writing in the intro I’m sure it will all be easily digestible to the non-math savvy readers interested in reading this book.

Alex M. S.: El autor de este libro te explica cálculo diferencial e integral de una manera mucho más clara que mi profesor de primero de carrera en ingeniería.

Te deja claro su historia, de donde vienen los conceptos, su utilidad, todo sin usar muchas fórmulas.

Este libro no es para aprobar un examen sino para entender de verdad de que va ésta útil herramienta de las matemáticas.

Lo recomiendo para cualquiera que quiera comprender de verdad sus bases y no solo memorizar una serie de fórmulas y gráficas, como pasó en mi curso.

Randolph Eck: In this book, the author intends to explain everything with the help of pictures, metaphors, and anecdotes. We also get exposed to some of the finest equations and proofs in human history. One of the first things introduced is the “infinity principle,” where things are broken down into infinite simpler parts, analyzed, and then added back together to produce the whole. Calculus can be thought of as a methodological theme consisting of a mystery of curves, the mystery of motion, and the mystery of change.

We start with the work of Archimedes from about the 3rd century BCE. We see here the beginnings of integral calculus, where triangles and parabolic regions are apparently and mysteriously equivalent. Eighteen hundred years passed until a new Archimedes appeared, whom we know as Galileo Galilei. It was interesting to learn about the law of odd numbers rule, which led Galileo to conclude that the total distance fallen is proportional to the square of the time elapsed. What Galileo did for the motion of objects, Johannes Kepler did for the motion of the planets. Both channeled the spirit of Archimedes, “carving solid objects in their minds into...

ADELMAR DE M TORRES: It is a delicious narrative about the origin of calculus and its importance in our daily life. It is a great book for those not familiar with mathematics.

Roger: Me gusta mucho el enfoque del libro donde se tratan los aspectos del cálculo a partir del concepto matemático del infinito, de una manera amena y hasta divertida. Creo que para personas que desean consolidar sus conocimientos en el tema puede ser muy útil, también a los docentes de nivel medio y superior les puede ayudar a dar enfoques más interesantes a sus clases. No soy hablante nativo del inglés, por lo que tuve que recurrir continuamente al diccionario, me parece que al autor le gusta utilizar un inglés elegante con términos no muy frecuentes. Eso puede ser un plus lingüístico, aunque puede hacer perder la continuidad en la lectura. Vale la pena de todas maneras. Muy recomendable

Gary Moreau, Author: This is not intended to be a textbook on calculus. And, like a lot of calculus itself, it is and it isn’t - quite. It is, however, a book about the history of calculus, which is fascinating, and the degree to which the universe seems to have been coded in a way that calculus seems to have an uncanny ability to explain is, well, somewhat inexplicable.

But as the author notes in the beginning, “For reasons nobody understands, the universe is deeply mathematical. Maybe God made it that way. Or maybe it’s the only way a universe with us in it could be, because nonmathematical universes can’t harbor life intelligent enough to ask the question.” How often do you hear a Professor of Applied Mathematics, at an Ivy League school no less, say something even remotely so self-reflective?

Steven Strogatz is a great communicator who is both a great mathematician and who, it is easy to tell, gets goose bumps every time he thinks about the wonders of calculus. I am not a professional mathematician but have always found mathematics to be both fascinating and, well, not easy, but very relatable. It’s predictable, and that’s comforting once you can see...

Utsabraj Sarkar: This book is a must for them who find calculus difficult and not interesting. I am teaching Analysis/Calculus for a while now. I will suggest this book to my students. If you belong to that group then you should give it a read too. This book is very well written with motivations coming from Shrek like animations, not joking, it's true. It's a must buy. As for Amazon's end their delivery is wondeful. Thanks Amazon !
