The Cartoon Guide to Calculus is a hilarious way of learning one of the toughest branches of mathematics by Larry Gonick. Summary of the Book Mathematics is hard. There are a lot of equations, numerous diagrams and a ridiculous amount of time needs to be spent in understanding the basics. Who wants to study mathematics anyway? We’d rather be reading comic books. That’s exactly why one should study mathematics from Larry Gonick’s book on Calculus. This book blends comic humour with mathematical magic. It teaches readers the basics and helps them understand how the subject is used in the world today. It is a thoroughly fascinating, comprehensive and instructive book on calculus, meant to be used as an introductory text before you plunge into the world of large, boring textbooks.
