Calculus Made Slow Past Times Silvanus P. Thompson
From Calculus Made Easy.org:
Considering how many fools tin calculate, it is surprising that it should live on idea either a hard or a dull chore for whatever other fool to acquire how to primary the same tricks.
Some calculus-tricks are quite easy. Some are enormously difficult. The fools who write the textbooks of advanced mathematics — in addition to they are by in addition to large clever fools — seldom accept the problem to demonstrate you lot how tardily the tardily calculations are. On the contrary, they appear to wishing to print you lot alongside their tremendous cleverness past times going virtually it inwards the most hard way.
Being myself a remarkably stupid fellow, I get got had to unteach myself the difficulties, in addition to similar a shot beg to introduce to my beau fools the parts that are non hard. Master these thoroughly, in addition to the balance volition follow. What 1 fool tin do, merely about other can.
