Synopsis
Excerpt from Advanced Calculus
It is probable that almost every teacher of advanced calculus feels the need of a text suited to present conditions and adaptable to his use. To write such a book is extremely difficult, for the attainments of students who enter a second course in calculus are different, their needs are not uniform, and the viewpoint of their teachers is no less varied. Yet in view of the cost of time and money involved in producing an Advanced Calculus, in proportion to the small number of students who will use it, it seems that few teachers can afford the luxury of having their own text; and that it consequently devolves upon an author to take as un selfish and unprejudiced a view of the subject as possible, and, so far as In him lies, to produce a book which shall have the maximum ?exibility and adaptability. It was the recognition of this duty that has kept the present work in a perpetual state of growth and modification during five or six years of composition. Every attempt has been made to write in such a manner that the individual teacher may feel the minimum embarrassment in picking and choosing what seems to him best to meet the needs of any particular class.
