I believe Richard Feynman has mentioned in interviews that he learned calculus from "Calculus Made Easy".
IIRC there might have been other books in a "Made Easy" series about math, but I'm not sure.
- jamal-kumar 4y agoThat's one of the books my grandpa had that I wish I had managed to get before that whole collection got dispersed because I remember him reading it over like a ten year time period. He just liked repeating variations on the exercises I think
- vmilner 4y agoHe also liked "Advanced Calculus" by Woods (possibly not for his first calculus text, but it happened to be six inches from my hand as I read this.)

- gfaregan 4y agoI liked that book. It uses differentials to give simple explanations of various derivatives, which seems to be frowned upon these days. You can download the book for free if I'm not mistaken. I once recommended it to a calculus class I was TAing for, though I don't think they were very impressed.
