What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Calculus Made Easy is arguably the best math teaching ever. To a non-mathematician, its simplicity and clarity reveals the mathematical genius of Newton, Leibniz, and Thompson himself. Martin Gardner deserves huge thanks for renewing this great book.” –Julian Simon, author of Population Matters
“A remarkable and user-friendly approach to the study of calculus, made even more so by Martin Gardner, the most highly acclaimed mathematical expositor of our time.” –R.L. Graham, Chief Scientist, AT&T Labs, and author of Concrete Mathematics
