Coming from an engineering background, I was already generally familiar with the practical applications of calculus in daily life and technical fields. However, it was genuinely enjoyable and highly informative to read about the vast and unexpected real-world utility of calculus, especially its significant role across fields like biology and medicine.
The book's coverage of applications was a highlight, but it would have been more engaging and valuable if the historical background and foundational narrative sections had been significantly condensed. A greater focus on the detailed discussion and exploration of the applications, perhaps featuring more complex or contemporary examples and case studies, would have made the material far more stimulating for a reader with a strong technical base.
