Présentation de l'éditeur

Calculus and its A pplications, as now taught inC olumbia College. This course being purely optional, is selected by those only who have a taste for mathematical studies, and it is pursued by them more with reference to its utility than as a means of mental discipline. These circumstances have given to the present work a practical character that can hardly fail to commend it to those who study the Calculus for the advantages it gives them in the solution of scientific problems. To meet the wants of this class of students, great care has been taken to avoid superfluous matter; the definitions have been revised and abbreviated; the demonstrations have been simplified and condensed; the rules and principles have been illustrated and enforced by numerous examples, so chosen as to familiarize the student with the use of radical and transcendental quantities; and finally, the manner of applying the Calculus has been exemplified by the solution of a variety of problems in Mechanics and A stronomy. The method employed in developing the principles of the science is essentially that of Leibnitz.

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.
