by David Berlinski (Author)
This text breathes life in to the core mathematical principles and process of calculus, in its largest aspect a celestial measuring tape and man's attempt to represent the world in time and space. Using clear, instructive explanations, this book explains more than a mathematical system, it also explores an instrument commensurate with humankind's limitless capacity to question and theorize about it's place in the universe.
