Infinite Powers: How Calculus Reveals the Secrets of the Universe

This book is a must for them who find calculus difficult and not interesting. I am teaching Analysis/Calculus for a while now. I will suggest this book to my students. If you belong to that group then you should give it a read too. This book is very well written with motivations coming from Shrek like animations, not joking, it's true. It's a must buy. As for Amazon's end their delivery is wondeful. Thanks Amazon !

Received the book before time! Thanks!

Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it . Love it.

Damaged product reached to me ..

Read this book - a good book.I wonder why the author missed some topics like Theory of Limits - and related Mathematician Guillame (William) L'Hospital whose L'Hospital Rule is about indeterminate to determinate.Since this book tends to be more like a History of Mathematics - then I would expect inclusion of lot more related Math topics and lot more Mathematicians.This book could have been edited to be concise; there are lots of repetitions of statements that instead could have been spent on to elucidate those statements.

Absolutely Loved the book

Great book. Must be read before last year of high school and first year of college. It clearly outlines the importance of calculus to world we live in and very possibly to our future. It gives a historical account of the importance of calculus to our knowledge of world and how calculus has made it better.

El autor de este libro te explica cálculo diferencial e integral de una manera mucho más clara que mi profesor de primero de carrera en ingeniería.Te deja claro su historia, de donde vienen los conceptos, su utilidad, todo sin usar muchas fórmulas.Este libro no es para aprobar un examen sino para entender de verdad de que va ésta útil herramienta de las matemáticas.Lo recomiendo para cualquiera que quiera comprender de verdad sus bases y no solo memorizar una serie de fórmulas y gráficas, como pasó en mi curso.

It is a delicious narrative about the origin of calculus and its importance in our daily life. It is a great book for those not familiar with mathematics.

A fantastic book to read about the history and impact of mathematics in our world. I was a bit disappointed to not see any reference of Ramanujan throughout the book as that was one of the reasons I started reading this book. But, otherwise a great book.

Me gusta mucho el enfoque del libro donde se tratan los aspectos del cálculo a partir del concepto matemático del infinito, de una manera amena y hasta divertida. Creo que para personas que desean consolidar sus conocimientos en el tema puede ser muy útil, también a los docentes de nivel medio y superior les puede ayudar a dar enfoques más interesantes a sus clases. No soy hablante nativo del inglés, por lo que tuve que recurrir continuamente al diccionario, me parece que al autor le gusta utilizar un inglés elegante con términos no muy frecuentes. Eso puede ser un plus lingüístico, aunque puede hacer perder la continuidad en la lectura. Vale la pena de todas maneras. Muy recomendable
