An Introduction to the Infinitesimal Calculus: Notes for the Use of Science and Engineering Students (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from An Introduction to the Infinitesimal Calculus: Notes for the Use of Science and Engineering Students

The principal change 111 this edition will be found in the treatment of the exponential and logarithm. Six years ago few students began the study of the Calculus without having already completed a course in Algebra, including the Theory of Infinite Series. It is now realised that in making this demand the mathematical teacher was asking more than was necessary. The principles underlying the Calculus, in so far as they can be examined in such a course as this, offer little difficulty. N 0 more than an elementary knowledge of Algebra and Trigonometry is required for their discussion; and a real grasp of the meaning of differentiation and integration can be obtained by very many to whom the subject of Infinite Series would appear extremely obscure.
