Calculus Made Easy is the answer to anyone who has been baffled, frustrated and simply irritated by the traditional academic approach to applying differentiation and integration problems. First published over a century ago, the methods, "tricks of the trade" and shortcuts Silvanus Thompson reveals are as applicable today in solving real-world 21st century problems. Whether you are a student, an established professional, or simply curious, this easy-to-follow book will give you the confidence to attack even the most daunting problems in engineering, science or mathematics.

    Silvanus Phillips Thompson FRS (19 June 1851 – 12 June 1916) was a professor of physics at the City and Guilds Technical College in Finsbury, England. He was elected to the Royal Society in 1891 and was known for his work as an electrical engineer and as an author. Thompson's most enduring publication is his 1910 text Calculus Made Easy, which teaches the fundamentals of infinitesimal calculus, and is still in print. Thompson also wrote a popular physics text, Elementary Lessons in Electricity and Magnetism, as well as biographies of Lord Kelvin and Michael Faraday.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT REFRENCE BOOK

I kept my calculus books from Engineering college but they were not much use when trying to review / find a concept. This book is concise & gets the point across in a succinct & clear manner. (if the use of English monetary references bothers you, get the newer edition with Martin Gardner)

1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid this e-version of this great book
Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2011

This feedback is specific to the version of the book "Calculus Made Easy" that I purchased and downloaded for my Kindle. The bottom line is...this version of the e-book is simply terrible and SHOULD NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE BY AMAZON.

This venerable book is actually available for free on the internet in PDF form as scans of actual pages of the original book. I chose to spend $0.99 for the Kindle version because I have come to love the convenience of reading my books electronically via the Kindle software on multiple devices. I know that 99 cents is not a lot of money...but this particular e-book version of "Calculus Made Easy" is really not even worth 1 cent. It was my own fault for not looking at example pages of the book before purchasing it...but I had become too complacent due to the success I have had with Kindle electronic books in the past.

A good example of the deficiency of this e-book version can be found very early on. In the 1st chapter called "To deliver you from the preliminary terrors" (on page 15 of the actual book)...the author discusses "The Integral". In the actual book, the sentence reads..."(integral symbol) which is merely a long S, and may be called (if you like) "the sum of." In the e-book (as well as in this review commentary) the integral symbol is MISSING! Less offensive, but also frustrating is the fact that "the elements" of an equation ("dx" for example) is NOT rendered as an italic or another font...making reading of this mathematics tome rather difficult.

I have given up trying to read further in this book, as every new paragraph is torture to consume...relative to the joy of reading from the scanned pages of the original book (whose font looks like Old English...but is infinitely easier to read).

I ask nothing from Kindle/Amazon than to please be vigilant about the products that you put forth for sale. My otherwise very positive experience with Kindle has now been marred by this purchase. It is my hope that Kindle/Amazon will work with us consumers to keep the Kindle experience nothing but enjoyable.

I'm long past using calculus, but I've given to my son in hopes he would see the fine way that calculus is explained in this book. I'll still look at it from time to time to play with the concepts and sample problems.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is the right choice

This is the book to buy not Martin Gardner's "upgrade" of the book.' Gardner's upgrade incorporates limits into Thompson's infinitesimal presentation. This is exactly what Thompson was trying to avoid in his original publication. It defeats the whole point of Thompsons "made easy" book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Formulas are not written in proper notation
Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2014
Verified Purchase
I was so looking forward to having this book in ebook format on my iPad. When I looked at it after downloading it, I was very disappointed to see no one have bothered to check it. Equations are indecipherable. They are presented with each part of an equation stacked one segment on top of the other. Rather than as a linear string in a straight line sequence. The bottom line is the book is impossible to follow and understand. You shouldn't buy this book unless there has been a rewrite of the whole text.

The graphics and charts are missing and there are random numbers appearing all through the text.
THe original book is a classic, but something seems to happened in translating it into a kindle book. It is very difficult, if not impossible, to follow.

1.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely impossible to read
Reviewed in France on March 15, 2016

The integral symbol and other math symbols are not rendered, the alignments of text is erratic.
Not in the least comparable to the paper version.
I want my money back for this disastrous rendering of a very good book.
I advised Amazon to either redo the kindle version or withdraw it, as it is detrimental to the paper version of a great book.
I tried to read more than a few pages but got quickly discouraged.
DON'T BUY THE KINDLE VERSION (EVEN CHEAP IT IS STILL TOO EXPANSIVE)
