Ben Orlin – Change Is the Only Constant: The Wisdom of Calculus in a Mad World
If you think calculus is just a dusty collection of formulas for solving textbook problems, Ben Orlin is here to prove you wrong. In Change Is the Only Constant, the author of the celebrated Math with Bad Drawings turns his sharp wit and playful pen to the universal language of change itself.
Through twenty-eight engaging, bite-sized chapters, Orlin reveals how calculus is the hidden grammar behind everything we experience: love, risk, time, and the relentless flux of daily life. His quirky, hand-drawn illustrations bring abstract ideas to life, making the book as entertaining as it is enlightening.
The book is divided into two parts—"Moments" and "Eternities"—and features an unexpected cast of characters, from Sherlock Holmes and Mark Twain to David Foster Wallace and Orlin’s own dog, Elvis. With characteristic humor and creativity, he draws surprising connections between mathematical analysis and art, literature, and everyday observation.
Orlin’s goal is not simply to make math fun, but to make us wiser and more thoughtful about the world we live in. Whether you’re a math enthusiast or a self-proclaimed numbers-phobe, this book offers a fresh, joyful perspective on the mathematics of our ever-changing lives.
