An Elementary Course of Infinitesimal Calculus (Classic Reprint)

Calculus which are of primary importance in the application to such subjects asP hysics andE ngineering. Purely analytical developments, and processes, however ingenious, which are seldom useful in practice, are for the most part omitted. Although the author has had in view the needs of a special class of students, he has not scrupled to discuss questions of theoretical interest when these appeared to him to be at once simple and relevant. He trusts therefore that the book may be acceptable also to mathematical students who desire to take a general survey of the subject before involving themselves deeply in any of its more elaborate developments. The arrangement is substantially that which has been adopted for a long series of years in lectures at theO wens College. As far as possible, priority is given to the simpler and more generally useful parts of the subject; in particular, the Integral Calculus is introduced at an early period. An attempt is made, as each stage in the subject is reached, to bring in applications of the theory to questions of interest.
