Every detail is carefully analyzed and explained, making it easy for the reader to follow along and truly grasp the concepts.

The treatment of integrals in the textbook is similarly impressive. This approach also greatly enhances the understanding of derivatives, as it allows the reader to see how they relate to infinitesimals and the broader context of calculus. By starting with these fundamental concepts, the reader is able to gain a deep and intuitive understanding of the subject matter. The approach taken by the textbook to begin with infinitesimals is truly commendable.
