Each of these resources has strengths but also weaknesses. In \u003cem\u003eCalculus Simplified\u003c\/em\u003e, Oscar Fernandez combines the strengths and omits the weaknesses, resulting in a \"Goldilocks approach\" to learning calculus: just the right level of detail, the right depth of insights, and the flexibility to customise your calculus adventure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFernandez begins by offering an intuitive introduction to the three key ideas in calculus—limits, derivatives, and integrals. The mathematical details of each of these pillars of calculus are then covered in subsequent chapters, which are organised into mini-lessons on topics found in a college-level calculus course. Each mini-lesson focuses first on developing the intuition behind calculus and then on conceptual and computational mastery. Nearly 200 solved examples and more than 300 exercises allow for ample opportunities to practise calculus. Additional resources—including video tutorials and interactive graphs—are available on the book's website.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCalculus Simplified\u003c\/em\u003e also gives you the option of personalising your calculus journey. For example, you can learn all of calculus with zero knowledge of exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions—these are discussed at the end of each mini-lesson. You can also opt for a more in-depth understanding of topics; chapter appendices provide additional insights and detail.
