Elements of the Differential and Integral Calculus (Classic Reprint)

Elements of theD ifferential and Integral Calculus to classes consisting chiefly of students of Chemistry andE ngineering. The work of preparing and delivering such lectures, and of revising them from year to year, teaches the lecturer many things in regard to the nature of the difficulties which are encountered by students. He is led to depart frequently from the traditional order of the subject matter, and to devise numerous simplifications in the proofs of propositions. It soon appeared that the amount of mathematical knowledge which need be possessed by a student before attempting the Calculus is very much less than has been supposed. For example, theB inomial Theorem in Algebra and the Addition Equation inT rigonometry are quite unnecessary. This book is written with the view of making the subject more easily and generally accessible than it has been hitherto. The principles of theD ifferential and Integral Calculus ought to be counted as a part of the intellectual heritage of every educated man or woman in the twentieth century, no less than the Copemican system or theD arwinian theory.
