Calculus simplified /
An accessible, streamlined, and user-friendly approach to calculusCalculus is a beautiful subject that most of us learn from professors, textbooks, or supplementary texts. Each of these resources has strengths but also weaknesses. In Calculus Simplified, Oscar Fernandez combines the strengths and om...
