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.

This book got me through calculus after I slept through the first 5 weeks and realized I didn't know what was going on anymore. It's a clear, simple but practical look at calculus and without it I probably would have became a liberal arts major.

I'd forgotten until recently how much I love this book.

Thompson's thesis is simple: "Any dolt can do this, so get to it, dolt."

This new edition uses a much easier-to-read typeface and less Anglocentric language/measures.

It also introduces some other stuff at the end that wasn't in the first edition.

In the same way every culinary student should have a copy of Barrons Food Lovers Companion, every math student should have a copy of this book with them in their bag.

And a Mars Staedtler Plastic.

For the most part, very understandable. The writing style holds my interest, and the author explained concepts in clear terms. For anyone looking for a conceptual understanding of calculus, I would definitely recommend this book.

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.

Ma pole tuletiste ja integraalidega tükk aega tegelenud, nii et see õpik pakkus küllaga äratundmise ja meeldetuletamise rõõmu.
Kui ma kunagi peaksin kellelegi neid teemasid selgitama, kavatsen seda õpetust tsiteerida: 'A great part of the labour of integrating things consists in licking them into some shape that can be integrated.'

10 years later after university it is difficult to remind how to do all this stuff. Honestly, personally, i may solve only basic things from all chapters. I'm happy to have this legendary book as my first Math book read from cover to cover.

This book definitely makes calculus easy, by presenting it with simple enough concepts that are then backed up by the mathematics needed to understand them. Calculus is first introduced with integrals, to first teach infinitesimals and why they are interesting. It then follows the standard pattern of teaching differentiation first, building up the formulas, until it then applies the knowledge to integration and the different methods for it.

I myself learned calculus in much the same way as it is presented in this book, only a century later. This book served as a good reminder to what I had learned at school and reads in an enjoyable manner. I strongly recommend it.

Good book for starting calculas from start.

The book was very helpful and it filled the gaps left in my education since high school times. The author's explanations are clear, though I admit that at times I failed to follow the logic without re-reading multiple times and trying out various interpretations on paper.

By the way, reading this without solving the provided exercises will reduce the book's utility to a minimum. If you plan to read this without a pen and paper by your side, don't bother.
