Book Synopsis
Otto Toeplitz did not teach calculus as a static system of techniques and facts to be memorized. Instead, he drew on his knowledge of history of mathematics and presented calculus as an organic evolution of ideas. Through this approach, Toeplitz elucidated mathematical advances that contributed to modern calculus. This work deals with this topic.
