Short little biting critique of the sloppy thinking that underlay Calculus for centuries. It's helpful especially for students to understand why the limit definitions of derivatives and integrals are necessary and not just ugly rigor for its own sake.

Especially helpful as a counterpoint to Thompson's Calculus Made Easy.
