Description
Written from examination point of view, this textbook provides the basic concepts of calculus to the undergraduate students of all disciplines (Honours courses) other than Mathematics (Hons.) of all Central Universities of India following Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) including University of Delhi.
The text follows a student-centric approach which communicates the practical aspects of Mathematics in such a way that it drives out the common fear of learning any mathematical subject. The concepts are properly supported by illustrations followed by several varied types of examples to provide students an integrated view of theory and applications. There are about four hundred examples in this book and the concepts are explained geometrically through numerous figures. A large number of self-practice problems with hints and answers have been added in each chapter to enable students to learn. Most of the questions conform to the examination-style universities of Indian.
Salient Features - Gives step by step procedure of solving worked problems for better understanding
- Includes Chapter Objectives at the beginning of each chapter.
- Familiarizes students with the basic techniques of calculus used in analysing the behaviour of a function.
