Consider Infinite Powers by Steven Strogatz. Recommended by 10 sources.
“Strogatz writes like an engaging guide who treats calculus as a human story: equations come with everyday analogies, historical side trips, and visual intuition. What works best is making why calculus matters—velocity, accumulation, and infinity—feel concrete without heavy formalism, so a reader finishes with better conceptual tools for understanding technology and science. The main limitation is pace: readers wanting rigorous proofs or a practice-based learning path will find it light and occasionally repetitive in examples and anecdotes.”
