This user-friendly introduction to the methods of differential and integral calculus of one real variable, eases the transition from high school to university math. It presents new ideas in the context of existing mathematical experience, building on students' A-level knowledge and extending it to the level encountered in first year degree courses in mathematics and the physical sciences.
The emphasis is on helping readers to understand the critical ideas and developing their manipulative skills, so topics are explained using worked examples and exercises.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
From the reviews:
"The book is aimed at beginning university students as a introductory calculus textbook . . Undoubtedly it is a clearly written exposition of the most typical topics of calculus ... full of good examples, with plenty of exercises and answers to them. ... Summing up, the reviewed book is a decent item, which might be recommended not as a main textbook for an introductory calculus course, but as a additional source mainly for practising typical procedures of differentiation and integration." (Piotr Zarzycki, The Mathematical Gazette, Vol. 92 (525), 2008)
