About the book
Steven Strogatz transforms the history of calculus into an epic and accessible narrative, showing how Newton, Leibniz, and their successors unraveled the laws that govern motion, energy, and change. More than a history of mathematics, it is an account of how humanity learned to think about infinity, continuous transformation, and the hidden structures of reality.
With vivid analogies and intuitive diagrams, the book reveals why calculus changed everything—from engineering to medicine—and remains fundamental to understanding our world. Perfect for the curious who wish to understand the beauty and power of mathematics without intimidating equations.
