I remember entering high school and picking up this book from the library in 9th grade. It was honestly not my favorite. It being called “Calculus Made Easy” had me feeling frustrated. I went to put it back and there was a book next to it called Calculus and Pizza. Within the introduction I got the intuitive feel for differentials and limits. I was able to play with the difference formula and take a much more enthusiastic high level trip through both differential and integral calculus. A big bonus was Calculus and Pizza allowed me to check my algebra in the back of the book and forward those questions to my algebra teacher. That was a few years before I was able to officially take calculus, so I kept re-reading chapters because they were fun. A book with an easy approach really needs to make the chapters super easy to restart and spiral through concepts. Stories and characters didn’t hurt to have too though.
