This book did a great job of taking a complex, highly technical subject and explaining what it’s about and why it’s important. It never sets out to teach the reader calculus, but it explains how we got to where we are, why people do learn it and many of the applications and benefits that have been gained from it.
It is written in a very accessible style, which makes it a fairly easy read. I might accuse the author of a bit of repetition, but maybe that was necessary to push home some of his points. I still would not know what to do with a partial differential equation, but I o understand why people endeavour solve them.
