Excerpt from The Calculus
The significance of the Calculus, the possibility of applying it in other fields, its usefulness, ought to be kept constantly and vividly before the student during his study of the subject, rather than be deferred to an uncertain future.
Not only for students who intend to become engineers, but also for those planning a profound study of other sciences, the usefulness of the Calculus is universally recognized by teach ers; it should be consciously realized by the student himself. It is obvious that students interested primarily in mathe maties, particularly if they expect to instruct others, should recognize the same fact.
To all these, and even to the student who expects only gen eral culture, the use of certain types of applications tends to make the subject more real and tangible, and offers a basis for an interest that is not artificial. Such an interest is necessary to secure proper attention and to insure any real grasp of the essential ideas.
For this reason, the attempt is made in this book to present as many and as varied applications of the Calculus as it is possible to do without venturing into technical fields whose subject matter is itself unknown and incomprehensible to the student, and without abandoning an orderly presentation of fundamental principles.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces the calculus, a mathematical tool developed over three hundred years ago by Isaac Newton. Calculus allows us to investigate and solve problems involving change, such as the speed of a moving object or the shape of a curve, and has since been applied to a wide range of fields, from physics to economics. The author provides clear explanations of the main ideas and techniques of calculus, from the concept of a 'function' to differentiation and integration. With solved examples and exercises to try alongside the text, the reader is guided through calculations that demonstrate the power of calculus to solve problems in areas such as motion, rates of change, and optimization. An understanding of calculus is essential for understanding much of modern science and technology. However, students do not need a background in science or engineering to grasp the fundamental concepts of calculus. By reading this book, the reader will be well-equipped to apply calculus to problems in their own field of interest. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
