Calculus Made Easy

Silvanus Phillips Thompson

Being a very-simplest introduction to the Differential and Integral Calculus

What one fool can do, another can.

(Ancient Simian Proverb.)

Capitolo in anteprimaPreface To The Second EditionAnteprima

The surprising success of this work has led the author to add a considerable number of worked examples and exercises. Advantage has also been taken to enlarge certain parts where experience showed that further explanations would be useful. The author acknowledges with gratitude many valuable suggestions and letters received from teachers, students, and—critics.

October, 1914.

Capitolo in anteprimaPrologueAnteprima

Considering how many fools can calculate, it is surprising that it should be thought either a difficult or a tedious task for any other fool to learn how to master the same tricks. Some calculus-tricks are quite easy. Some are enormously difficult. The fools who write the textbooks of advanced mathematics—and they are mostly clever fools—seldom take the trouble to show you how easy the easy calculations are. On the contrary, they seem to desire to impress you with their tremendous cleverness by going about it in the most difficult way. Being myself a remarkably stupid fellow, I have had to unteach myself the difficulties, and now beg to present to my fellow fools the parts that are not hard. Master these thoroughly, and the rest will follow. What one fool can do, another can.
