The first half of Calculus Gems, entitled Brief Lives, is a biographical history of mathematics from the earliest times to the late 19th century. The author shows that science—and mathematics in particular—is something that people do, and not merely a mass of observed data and abstract theory. The second half of the book contains nuggets that Simmons has collected from number theory, geometry, science, etc., which he has used in his mathematics courses.
