For someone like me who stopped formally learning mathematics around trigonometry, this book was a remarkable next step in my math education. I finally understood what calculus actually is, and got a good introduction to Chaos Theory (hint: it's not really chaotic, it just appears to be.)

Highly recommended for people who want to understand math better, and how it is actually applied in the "real" world.
