Once when I was about twelve I tried to learn the sigma summation notation from the beginning of the first volume and got confused, but all things in due time I suppose. I've never read either of these books and hold onto them for sentimental reasons. Nevertheless, they appear to be perfectly good introductory calculus textbooks. no reviews | add a review
Belongs to SeriesCalculus (1)
An introduction to the Calculus, with an excellent balance between theory and technique. Integration is treated before differentiation--this is a departure from most modern texts, but it is historically correct, and it is the best way to establish the true connection between the integral and the derivative. Proofs of all the important theorems are given, generally preceded by geometric or intuitive discussion. This Second Edition introduces the mean-value theorems and their applications earlier in the text, incorporates a treatment of linear algebra, and contains many new and easier exercises. As in the first edition, an interesting historical introduction precedes each important new concept. No library descriptions found. |
