The title of this light-hearted and amusing book might well have been'Going Gray in Elementary Calculus and How to Avoid it.'Changing the metaphor, Barry has hit the nail on the finger in hundreds of fine examples. --Philip J. Davis, coauthor of The Mathematical Experience.'How I wish that something like this had been available when I was a student!'--Ralph P. Boas, former editor of The American Mathematical Monthly.
