What reading level is The Nature of Mathematics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Dx = xz, and so on. More fully, from d(x 3 ) = 3cc 2 . Dx, we conclude, not that fx 2 . Dx = $x 3, but that fx 2 . Dx = $x 3 + c, where <: c " de- notes some constant depending on the fixed value for x from which the integration starts.

a tf) O j Thus the area from the origin to the point x is j^L-l ? + c ; 8 2ty 3 ^i/ 2 cfo/ 2V 3 but d- = y ' y ; thus the area is - + c, or, since y 2 ax, 3ct a on %x . Y + c. To determine c when we measure the area from to x, we have the area zero when x = ; hence the above equation gives c = 0. This whole result, now quite simple to us, is one of the greatest discoveries of Archimedes.
Let us now make a few short reflections on the infinitesimal calculus. First, the extraordinary power of it in dealing with complicated questions lies in that the question is split up into an infinity of simpler ones which can all be dealt with at once, thanks to the wonderfully economical fashion in which the calculus, like analytical geometry, deals with variables.
