Reviews

[Ayush Sinha]

Rigorous and fills the gap left by formal education system in mathematics in most countries.It lays a basis for calculus from previously acquired knowledge by the student and joins the dots wonderfully and in the process erases several misconceptions that may have entered the reader's mind during conversations about calculus.

[Harshad]

The book proceeds as a dialogue between a curious student and a calculus teacher. Teaches calculus in a rigorous fashion.

The two chapters on differential equations are worth a million dollars!

[Simran]

The book was written by a student and for a student like me. I went through all the trouble of doing the homework on time, paying the most attention in the class (making jokes for the peers was as much important).
All in vein. Understandind calculus or any part of knowledge as a matter of fact needs more than this drill.
This book conveyed a new path for yet another method of learning apart from the concepts it self.

This book was written by Russian Mathematician L V Tarasov and was translated by Kisin. One of many gems by Mir Publishers, Moscow.
