The Cartoon Guide to Calculus (Cartoon Guide Series)

Description:

“In Gonick’s work, clever design and illustration make complicated ideas or insights strikingly clear.”
—New York Times Book Review

Larry Gonick, master cartoonist, former Harvard instructor, and creator of the New York Times bestselling, Harvey Award-winning Cartoon Guide series now does for calculus what he previously did for science and history: making a complex subject comprehensible, fascinating, and fun through witty text and light-hearted graphics. Gonick’s The Cartoon Guide to Calculus is a refreshingly humorous, remarkably thorough guide to general calculus that, like his earlier Cartoon Guide to Physics and Cartoon History of the Modern World, will prove a boon to students, educators, and eager learners everywhere.

Review

“How do you humanize calculus and bring its equations and concepts to life? Larry Gonick’s clever and delightful answer is to have characters talking, commenting, and joking-all while rigorously teaching equations and concepts and indicating calculus’s utility. It’s a remarkable accomplishment-and a lot of fun.” — Lisa Randall, Professor of Physics, Harvard University, and author of Knocking on Heaven's Door

Gonick is to graphical expositions of advanced materials as Newton or Leibniz is to calculus. The difference is that Gonick has no rival. — Xiao-Li Meng, Whipple V. N. Jones Professor of Statistics and Department Chair, Harvard University

Larry Gonick’s sparkling and inventive drawings make a vivid picture out of every one of the hundreds of formulas that underlie Calculus. Even the jokers in the back row will ace the course with this book. — David Mumford, Professor emeritus of Applied Mathematics at Brown University and recipient of the National Medal of Science

I always thought that there are no magic tricks that use calculus. Larry Gonick proves me wrong. His book is correct, clear and interesting. It is filled with magical insights into this most beautiful subject. — Persi Diaconis, Professor of Mathematics, Stanford

It has no mean derivative results about the only derivatives that matter…. A spunky tool-toting heroine called Delta Wye seems the perfect role model for our next generation. — Susan Holmes, Professor of Statistics, Stanford

A creative take on an old, and for many, tough subject…Gonick’s cartoons and intelligent humor make it a fun read. — Amy Langville, Recipient of the Distinguished Researcher Award at College of Charleston and South Carolina Faculty of the Year

From the Back Cover

A complete—and completely enjoyable—new illustrated guide to calculus

Master cartoonist Larry Gonick has already given readers the history of the world in cartoon form. Now, Gonick, a Harvard-trained mathematician, offers a comprehensive and up-to-date illustrated course in first-year calculus that demystifies the world of functions, limits, derivatives, and integrals. Using clear and helpful graphics—and delightful humor to lighten what is frequently a tough subject—he teaches all of the essentials, with numerous examples and problem sets. For the curious and confused alike, The Cartoon Guide to Calculus is the perfect combination of entertainment and education—a valuable supplement for any student, teacher, parent, or professional.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well motivated and well explained.

M.N. · 26 September 2018

Explains the basics of calculus in a very accessible way, at first year university level. Done in an engaging and accessible way, and minimises the hand waving.

For adult, who is getting bored with reading but interested in learning.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fun intro to calculus.

j. · 2 April 2016

A fun intro to calculus.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not too good for what is being attempted

H.F. · 24 February 2015

Not too good for what is being attempted. Tricky subject, some cartoons might be helpful to understand calculus, but I think it could have been better.

Muito instrutivo

M.T. · 16 March 2019

An intelligent book, full of very didactic and fun figures. The calculation taught in a very distracted way, without losing the rigor and the essential foundation of this discipline. The book is robust, has a considerable number of pages and the best, teaches same calculation.

Delivers what it promises

K. · 22 April 2012

'or at least I think so. I bought this for my teenage son, who is interested in math. He is not finished with it yet, but he says it is amusing to read, although he has already had most of the content in school. When he is finished with it, I will read it myself.

Good book

Y.C. · 9 June 2025

This calculus book offers a refreshing approach with its helpful visuals. The illustrations enhance understanding of complex concepts, making them more accessible. The clear explanations accompanying the pictures further solidify learning. It's a valuable resource for anyone seeking a visually engaging way to learn calculus. This book successfully bridges the gap between theory and practical

Very interesting!

L.B. · 28 August 2025

Bought this for my 15-year-old son for his birthday (he's a maths geek :-D ), and he loved it!

Basico pero excelente para entender los conceptos de cálculo

E. · 16 November 2020

Yo diría que es un libro básico, sin embargo no esperaba un tratado de cálculo en un libro de caricaturas. Permite entender y explicar claramente los conceptos de derivada, integral, máximos y mínimos y aplicaciones generales del cálculo.Larry Gunick es un maestro!
