Who would think that one could write a book about calculus without having it filled with endless equations? Steven Storgataz, professor at Cornell University, accomplished this task masterfully in his 2019 book, Infinite Powers, How Calculus Reveals the Secrets of the Universe.
I wish I had had his clear explanations of calculus over forty years ago when I was a young student of mathematics. His book is filled with clear explanations and illustrations. He also has many applications in which calculus has been critical, such as the disease research, fingerprint analysis, space exploration, and music.
