Mathematics for Engineering Students (Classic Reprint)

Analytics and Calculus, has been omitted from this book, not because it was regarded as worthless, but because it was considered quite unnecessary for the student of engineering. In Analytics the attention is called, at the beginning, to the fact that the commonest experiences of life lie at the basis of the subject, and at all stages of its development the student is encouraged to consider the matters presented in the most informal and untechnical way. In the Calculus a somewhat radical departure has been attempted, in order to avoid the difficult and somewhat mystifying subject of limits, or rather to approach similar ends by less technical paths. The average engineer will assert that he never uses the Calculus in his practical experience, and it is the authors ambition to make it effective as a tool, believing, as they do, that it is not used because it has never been presented in sufficiently simple and familiar terms.
