SOME BOOKS RELATED TO CALCULUS (most of them available at MIT Science Library) Calculus : A Genetic Approach by Otto Toeplitz This book is out of print, but you can find it in some libraries (there is a copy in the research section of the Boston Public Library, you can't check it out, but you can read it there). It discusses the genesis of calculus, from the ancient Greeks up to Newton and Leibniz. It is based on the teaching experience of an outstanding German mathematician, an attempt to present the development of Calculus by considering the key problems that it solved and the key questions that it answered. It's a short book and a must for anybody who wants a deeper understanding of the subject.
