Calculus Made Easy

‘Calculus Made Easy’ contains a concise exposition of elementary calculus and a very simple introduction to differential and integral calculus. In writing this text, Silvanus Thompson has aimed to furnish most practically and understandably, the fundamentals of calculus, specially designed for those with an interest in the topic but with limited previous knowledge and an understandable reticence about beginning their calculus adventure.
Written in clear, simple language and full of useful information and clear explanations, this text is ideal for students and anyone with a desire to advance their mathematical knowledge. The chapters of this volume include: 'To Deliver You From the Preliminary Terrors', 'On Different Degrees of Smallness', 'On Relative Growings', 'Simplest Cases', 'What to do with Constants', 'Successive Differentiation', 'When Time Varies', 'Introducing a Useful Dodge', 'Geometrical Meaning of Differentiation', etc. We are republishing this vintage work now complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

Silvanus Phillips Thompson FRS (19 June 1851 – 12 June 1916) was a professor of physics at the City and Guilds Technical College in Finsbury, England. He was elected to the Royal Society in 1891 and was known for his work as an electrical engineer and as an author. Thompson's most enduring publication is his 1910 text Calculus Made Easy, which teaches the fundamentals of infinitesimal calculus, and is still in print. Thompson also wrote a popular physics text, Elementary Lessons in Electricity and Magnetism, as well as biographies of Lord Kelvin and Michael Faraday.
