Cartoon Guide to Calculus

"Master cartoonist and former Harvard calculus instructor Larry Gonick offers a complete and up-to-date illustrated course in college-level calculus. Using graphics and humor to lighten what is frequently a tough subject, Gonick entertainingly teaches all of the course essentials, including functions, limits, and derivatives, as well as more advanced integrals, series, and convergence tests. He concludes with a quick but thorough look at the theoretical basis and history of calculus, including atomism, continuity, paradox, and doubts about the foundations of mathematics."
