It is somewhat remarkable that, whilst almost every department of human knowledge has been simplified and brought down to the level of ordinary capacities, scarcely any attempt has been made to simplify and illustrate by familiar examples one of the most elegant and useful branches of mathematical science. Most of the existing works on theD ifferential and Integral Calculus are written for the use of Students in the Universities, and require a previous knowledge of almost every branch of Pure Mathematics. It is quite obvious, however, that the great leading principles of this science may be communicated to youth at a much earlier period, and with much less acquaintance with the other branches of mathematics than is generally supposed. The pupil may begin to study theD ifferential and Integral Calculus after he has acquired the elements of Geometry, and the principles of Algebra as far as the end of quadratic equations. Instead of continuing to prosecute his algebraic studies through the Theory of Equations, Indeterminate Problems, Diophantine A nalysis, c. he might advantageously at this period be made acquainted with the A3 I im.
