From the author of The Pleasures of Counting and Na???ve Decision Making comes a calculus book perfect for self-study. It will open up the ideas of the calculus for any 16- to 18-year-old, about to begin studies in mathematics, and will be useful for anyone who would like to see a different account of the calculus from that given in the standard texts. In a lively and easy-to-read style, Professor K???rner uses approximation and estimates in a way that will easily merge into the standard development of analysis.

This book describes important and interesting ideas in a way that will enthuse a new generation of mathematicians.
