"What one fool can do, another can." So goes the opening of Sylvanus Thompson's 1914 classic introduction to calculus. The Project Gutenberg edition of this book has long been one of the site's most popular downloads, and for good reason. This relatively slender volume introduces the reader to differentiation and integration including partial derivatives (chapter 16), double and triple integrals (chapter 18), and simple differential equations (chapter 21).
