Contents:

The ancients -- East of Greece -- Motion -- Indivisibles -- Quadrature -- The fundamental theorem of calculus -- Notation -- Chords -- Zero over zero -- Rigor.

Summary: Calculus and Its Origins is primarily a collection of results that show how calculus came to be, beginning in ancient Greece and climaxing with the discovery of calculus. Other books have traveled these paths, but they presuppose knowledge of calculus. This book requires only a basic knowledge of high school geometry and algebra. Exercises introduce further historical figures and their results, and make it possible for a professor to use this book in class.
