<p>CALCULUS MADE EASY BEING A VERY-SIMPLEST INTRODUCTION TO THOSE BEAUTIFUL METHODS OF RECKONING WHICH ARE GENERALLY CALLED BY THE TERRIFYING NAMES OF THE DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS AND THE INTEGRAL CALCULUS. Considering how many fools can calculate, it is surprising that it should be thought either a difficult or a tedious task for any other fool to learn how to master the same tricks. Some calculus-tricks are quite easy. Some are enormously difficult. The fools who write the textbooks of advanced mathematics and they are mostly clever fools seldom take the trouble to show you how easy the easy calculations are. On the contrary, they seem to desire to impress you with their tremendous cleverness by going about it in the most difficult way. Being myself a remarkably stupid fellow, I have had to unteach myself the difficulties, and now beg to present to my fellow fools the parts that are not hard. Master these thoroughly, and the rest will follow. What one fool can do, another can. Contents: I. To deliver you from the Preliminary Terrors II. On Different Degrees of Smallness III. On Relative Growings IV. Simplest Cases V. Next Stage. What to do with Constants VI. Sums, Differences, Products and Quotients VII. Successive Differentiation VIII. When Time Varies IX. Introducing a Useful Dodge X. Geometrical Meaning of Differentiation XI. Maxima and Minima XII. Curvature of Curves XIII. Other Useful Dodges XIV. On true Compound Interest and the Law of Organic Growth XV. How to deal with Sines and Cosines XVI. Partial Differentiation XVII. Integration XVIII. Integrating as the Reverse of Differentiating XIX. On Finding Areas by Integrating XX. Dodges, Pitfalls, and Triumphs XXI. Finding some Solutions Table of Standard Forms Answers to Exercises</p>

Calculus Made Easy is a book on infinitesimal calculus originally published in 1910 by Silvanus P. Thompson, considered a classic and elegant introduction to the subject. Calculus Made Easy ignores the use of limits with its epsilon-delta definition, replacing it with a method of approximation directly to the correct answer in the infinitesimal spirit of Leibniz, now formally justified in modern non-standard analysis.

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.
