Présentation de l'éditeur
In the preparation of this volume, the authors have had in mind the needs of those colleges and technical schools in which the time devoted to calculus is limited to a three-hour course for a year, or perhaps to a five-hour course for two terms. 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 practical 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 development of fundamental principles. Throughout the book much emphasis is placed upon the applications of the calculus to practical 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. In the selection of material, the authors have departed somewhat from the traditional course. Many topics usually included in calculus have been entirely omitted or greatly reduced in extent. Thus, but little attention has been given to special methods of integration; and reduction formulas for integration, order of contact, envelopes, etc., have been omitted entirely. On the other hand, some parts of the text have been extended beyond the usual limits. Functions of two or more variables, because of their importance in physics, have been discussed more fully than usual.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
