Publisher's Synopsis
Calculus is a branch of mathematics that studies continuous change. It can be divided into the two branches of differential and integral calculus. The principles of limits and infinitesimals, the fundamental theorem of calculus and the convergence of infinite sequences and infinite series are fundamental to the development of calculus. Current studies in this field are in the areas of reformulations of calculus such as non-standard calculus, smooth infinitesimal analysis and constructive analysis. An understanding of this domain is crucial for developing a functional approach to advanced mathematical analysis. Besides advancing the frontiers of advanced mathematics, calculus is also instrumental in science, engineering and economics. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of calculus. Some of the diverse topics covered herein address the varied branches that fall under this category. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make this textbook an invaluable source of knowledge.
