Thompson’s great beginner’s guide to calculus will help you understand the subject’s basic principles and logic. Calculus ties so many people in knots: it’s just different from the math we’ve encountered in earlier grades, and takes a little more time and effort to learn. Sometimes just having a different voice explaining the concepts helps a great deal, and that’s where Thompson excels—his writing is clear, simple, straightforward, and easy for anyone at any grade level to understand. His goal is for EVERYONE to understand calculus, and grasp the basic principles before forging ahead into more complicated calculus. Whether you are in school and learning calculus for the first time, or are looking for a short and accessible refresher, this classic approach to calculus will help you.
