Didn't get very far with this ( Understood the prolouge and that was about it ) Not ready for calculus easy or not I guess
juggernaut's review against another edition
5.0
I have skipped the exercises. But the book explains lot of things in simple and elegant way. A must have for high school students and parents or teachers who wish to teach children calculus. About this particular edition, print quality is poor. Worst paper quality. Also they had put a copyright notice. Stupid! The book is out of copyright and available in project Gutenberg. Please stay away from this edition.

I read the second edition, dated 1914. It's a good book for beginners in maths, so here you can learn a little bit of basic calculus (differentation and integration). There are no theorems in this book, only basic definitions and main ideas explained. And, especially, an awful lot of examples and exercises (both solved and proposed).
The book has very plain language, as far as possible, but you have to have certain mathematical background. But it is not necessary to be an undergraduate student, you could go into this book directly after high school. Even during the last courses would be an advisable read.

I read this, but it sure didn't make calculus any easier!
