Infinite Powers

Infinite Powers by Steven Strogatz. It covers the history of Calculus including the seeds of the theory which started with mathematicians from the ancient era such as Archimedes, developing through Galileo, Kepler until the full-development by Leibniz and Newton. It is very informative and provides an intuitive and gentle introduction to calculus. It also describes important applications both in theory and practice (quantum mechanics, GPS, CTScan).
