Perfect for a thorough review of high school calculus. Specifically liked the last bonus chapter The natural law of growth and the number e, where it takes an interesting take on the exponential growth and its relationship with logarithms, hyperbolic functions and pi.

Not 5 star, because a couple of topics were not substantiated very well. Those topics, however, can easily be argued to be beyond the scope of the book, but in that case I felt the proof should have been completely left out instead of having provided a flimsy one.

Nevertheless, it was a pretty interesting read.

I have wanted to brush up on my high-school calculus for a long time and kept trying several books, but was finding it difficult to grasp the basics as they are always presented in a confusing manner. But once I started reading this book published in 1945, I could not really keep it down, as it explained the very basics in a step-by-step method. I enjoyed and relished it like a novel for two weeks, with a very easy to read language usage for a book on calculus. I highly recommend this book if you find calculus a bit difficult to understand. I think, the best aspect of the book are the various illustrated solved examples within each chapter, which make the concepts really understandable. I did not need to do the end of the chapter exercises, but if you are in high school, then I would recommend you practice the questions as well. One of the best books I have read in a long time.

I wish I would have read this book before I took Math 151 course in the Middle East Technical University.

Terrible

Looks like each page was a poor photocooy. No dictionary, typeface, or other kindle features. Even the English grammar and spelling was erratic. I searched in vain for an opportunity to cancel as purchased by mistake.

Does anyone have the book in the EU and willing to sell?

Ok-ish. Pre-limits which makes it difficult to apply to modern calculus

The best of the series, but I guess that is because I like calculus. The last chapter had some interesting content and overall this is an interesting approach to calculus.

The content of this book contains material that is capable of restructuring your mind in profound ways. Through the methods of calculus, one is able to consider natural phenomenon as a sequence of instantaneous moments. Thompson does an exquisite job of articulating the power of calculus in a way any person could appreciate.

Excellent calculus book for practical use.
