Synopsis

Master numerical methods in calculus with clear, step-by-step explanations you can trust.


This edition presents practical approaches to solving equations and approximating values. It compares interpolation with Newton’s method, showing when each method is most effective and how to use tables and graphs to guide your work. The text blends geometry, graphs, and algebra to build intuition for numerical problem solving.


Readers will see concrete examples, learn how to judge accuracy, and follow procedures that apply to real calculations. The material emphasizes how to move from rough estimates to precise results, using methods that students can implement with or without extensive computing aids.



  • Explanations of interpolation and Newton’s method with worked examples.

  • Guidance on when to switch from graphical ideas to algebraic calculations.

  • Exercises that reinforce techniques for successive approximations and table-based computations.

  • Illustrations showing how to visualize problems and verify results for reliability.


Ideal for readers seeking a solid foundation in numerical techniques within calculus, and for anyone building practical problem‑solving skills.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Elementary Calculus, by William F. Osgood.
This book, although intended for college use, is included in this review because it is probably the latest textbook on this subject. "The object of this book is to present the elements of the Differential Calculus in a form easily accessible for the undergraduate." Professor Osgood emphasizes the use of graphical methods.
