How our understanding of calculus has evolved over more than three centuries, how this has shaped the way it is taught in the classroom, and why calculus pedagogy needs to changeCalculus Reordered takes readers on a remarkable journey through hundreds of years to tell the story of how calculus evolved into the subject we know today. David Bress
"In an orderly sense, the writer introduces the context and then proceeds to state exactly what was the major draw back in the context during the relevant period of time. . The progression, as well as the way in which he uses simple techniques to demolish towers of problems in the same sense as it was done back in the day is certainly worth appreciation." * Mathemafrica *
"Any lover of mathematics will appreciate the time spent among these pages."---A. Misseldine, Choice
"A great companion for students studying analysis, and calculus instructors will find it an enriching experience." * Mathematics Magazine *
"I thoroughly enjoyed reading this accessible, insightful and well-written book."---Nick Lord, Mathematical Gazette
