Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Essentials of Calculus
The usual division of the subject into differential and integral calculus has been largely disregarded. By the arrangement adopted, the student is early led by easy steps into Simple prao tical applications of the calculus; and the more difficult topics are postponed until late in the course.
The theory of limits has been used exclusively in the develop ment of fundamental principles. Throughout the book much emphasis is placed upon the applications of the calculus to prao tical problems. Only such knowledge of physics on the part of the student is assumed as is usually included in an elementary course in that subject. Some problems are introduced that Show the use of calculus in discussing well-known applications to physical and engineering phenomena. Such problems are so stated, however, as to require no technical knowledge on the part of the student. The applications to geometry are such as are essential and usually to be found in a first course in calculus.
