Calculus and Its Origins begins with ancient questions that had been explored long before calculus was born, and details the remarkable story of how subsequent scholars wove these inquiries into a unified theory. Other books have traveled these paths, but they presuppose knowledge of calculus. This book requires only a basic knowledge of geometry and algebra (similar triangles, polynomials, factoring), and a willingness to treat the infinite as metaphor.
