On This Page

Description

Application-oriented introduction relates the subject as closely as possible to science. In-depth explorations of the derivative, the differentiation and integration of the powers of x, and theorems on differentiation and antidifferentiation lead to a definition of the chain rule and examinations of trigonometric functions, logarithmic and exponential functions, techniques of integration, polar coordinates, much more. Clear-cut explanations, numerous drills, illustrative examples. 1967 show more edition. Solution guide available upon request. show less

Very good for learning, but I need more practice. Especially in Integration by Parts and Partial Differentiation.

I only got up to Calculus II in school, but I did enjoy this regardless.

Through a second reading, I can say that I really like the practical approach taken for this book. One chapter will introduce a concept and the next chapter will apply it to a physical situation. The text goes from the introduction to functions and limits to partial differentiation.
