Change is the Only Constant is an engaging and eloquent exploration of the
intersection between calculus and daily life, complete with Orlin's sly humor
and memorably bad drawings. By spinning 28 engaging mathematical tales,
Orlin shows us that calculus is simply another language to express the very
