It is a classic - a really marvelous introduction to basic math, through the calculus, by a top mathematician who writes clearly, simply and beautifully.
a Review:
This was one of the two books that I read nearly eight years ago that renewed my interest in mathematics. The other book was An Introduction to Mathematics by Alfred North Whitehead. Any one interested in mathematics can with an investment of perhaps of only 10 hours or less (took me only a weekend to get through this book) can come away with a good grasp of the underlying principles of arithmetic, algebra, trigonometry and calculus that is often overlooked in dry and uninspiring textbooks that most of us encounter during our school or university years. Both these books will be part of my treasured collection of great books for years to come. Will make you fall in love with mathematics if you haven't already. A must read!
