Taking us on a thrilling journey through three millennia, Professor Steven strogatz charts the development of this seminal achievement from the days of Archimedes to today's breakthroughs in chaos theory and artificial intelligence. Filled with idiosyncratic characters from Pythagoras to Fourier, infinite powers is a compelling human drama that reveals the legacy of calculus on nearly every aspect of modern civilisation, including Science, politics, medicine, philosophy, and much besides.
