Synopsis

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The rapid growth in recent years of all branches of applied Bcience and the consequent increasing claims on the time of students have given rise in various quarters to the demand I for a change in the character of mathematicaJ text-books. To meet this demand several works have been published, addressed to particular classes of students and designed to supply them with the special kind and quantity of mathematics they are supposed to need. With many of the arguments urged in favour of the change I am in hearty sympathy, but it is as true now as it was of old that there is no royal road to mathematics, and that no really useful knowledge can be gained except by strenuous effort. It is sometimes alleged that a thorough knowledge of the derivatives and integrals of the simpler powers, of I the exponential and the logarithmic functions, and perhaps of the sine and the cosine, is quite suflS cient preparation in the Calculus for the engineer. This contention has a solid substratum of truth; but a knowledge that goes beyond the mere ability to quote results is not to be obtained by the few lessons that are too often considered sufficient to expound these elementary rules.
