The Cartoon Guide to Calculus: The Witty, Humorous Math Textbook for Students and Eager Learners (Cartoon Guide Series, 21)

“In Gonick’s work, clever design and illustration make complicated ideas or insights strikingly clear.”
—New York Times Book Review

Larry Gonick, master cartoonist, former Harvard instructor, and creator of the New York Times bestselling, Harvey Award-winning Cartoon Guide series now does for calculus what he previously did for science and history: making a complex subject comprehensible, fascinating, and fun through witty text and light-hearted graphics. Gonick’s The Cartoon Guide to Calculus is a refreshingly humorous, remarkably thorough guide to general calculus that, like his earlier Cartoon Guide to Physics and Cartoon History of the Modern World, will prove a boon to students, educators, and eager learners everywhere.

Larry Gonick has been creating comics that explain math, history, science, and other big subjects for more than forty years. His Cartoon Guide series has enjoyed immense success. He has been a calculus instructor at Harvard (where he earned his BA and MA in mathematics), a Knight Science Journalism Fellow at MIT, and a Montgomery Fellow at Dartmouth. He was staff cartoonist for Muse magazine.

Larry Gonick's books have sold millions of copies worldwide and have been translated into more than twenty-five languages.
