Calculus Made Easy (1910) simply for the quote at the beginning: "What one fool can do, another can."

I did horribly in math because I figured it was hard and just accepted I'd never be good at it. That quote somehow managed to dissolve my mental block.

Had to do a Calculus course in uni despite not having taken any calc or pre-calc in high school. "Precalculus Mathematics in a Nutshell" and "Calculus Made Easy" were complete lifesavers.
