This is a great book for Calc 1 students who need to understand the content but don’t really like math and aren’t pursuing a future in mathematics. You learn all the necessary tools, definitions, and concepts to do calculus and it’s not a pain to read like a textbook can be.
I think the book would work really well as supplementary reading in a calc course, or just for fun if you’re a math person like me

I found this in Sherman's in Bar Harbor. I had seen a similar book by the same authors on Statistics that I didn't like much, but this is brilliant. In my limited experience, Calculus was a collection of techniques that I memorized in order to solve a bunch of changing rate story problems in the classes that I took as an undergraduate, but would suddenly change into something similar but different when I used it in Physics or in Statistics. This book concentrates on the underlying concepts of Calculus using cartoons. It has an historical perspective, including both Newton and Leibnitz as characters, and it includes enough explanation of technique so that it ties everything to my experience. I wish I had it 50 years ago.
