if there are shortcuts to learning calculus this isn’t one of them.
Its much easier to just do it the normal way, take a class.
BTW, who on earth decided that the flaming leftist Noam Chomsky is a good person to quote on the back cover of a Calculus book?

If you are begining calculus this is probably not a goog book to start with. I am a college student and did not really like the book. The text used in my school is easier to understand. I feel i wasted my money.

Martin Gardner’s updates feel like big brother. Silvanus P. Thompson, though a poly-math, was indeed an electrical engineer. The same cannot be said about Gardner.
Even in Thompson’s last edition (3rd), he good-naturedly taunted and teased mathematicians. If an update really was necessary, it should have been done by an EE like Paul Nahin (wrote the 1988 IEEE Oliver Heaviside biography and An Imaginary Tale among others), not by a Mathematician like Martin Gardner.

I am now finished with Calculus II and I still don’t understand the content of thisbook. It is extremely complicated and poorly written. It makes it seem that Calculus is so easy, but it’s just easier studying the old fasioned way, doing homework problems.I really don’t recommend this book, at least for undergrads.

Excellent review. Each of the TI 83 and 89 have
indicial approaches to the key sequencing mthods
of Markov. Who better that Scientific American’s
Gardner to posit terse stroke line signatures.
