Dedicated to Mr. Isaac Yoon

Isaac was an inspiration to us all. His

mathematical prowess was superior to
that of all who came before him. Albert
Einstein, Kip Thorn, and Stephen Hawking
will all live in the shadow of Isaac Yoon.
Yoons accomplishments include being
awarded four Nobels, winning two
consecutive games of Jenga, and winning
one Kentucky Derby.

About
The Author

Ben Bronow

is truly an American
hero. To the world of literature about the
essential functions of calculus, Bronow is a god.
Bronow wrote his first book about functions at
the age of 2, right after he played his first round
of golf (in which he shot 11 hole in ones). After
winning thirty Nobel Prizes, he has arguably
become the greatest person to ever live. He is
seriously so cool. He once flipped a golf cart.
Also, he was the first man to walk on the sun.
Bronow now resides in California, and plans to
continue to explore both calculus and the
universe. Bronow is also very humble. He is such an
American treasure, nick cage would steal him.
