From the book reviews:
"The aim of this book is cover the elementary calculus of variations problems in the context of the Hahn quantum calculus and the power quantum calculus. . The book may serve as an introduction to the Hahn quantum calculus or the power quantum calculus . or as a reference for the Euler-Lagrange equations for the associated calculus of variations problems with fixed or free endpoints."

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Watermark-DRM, a „soft” copy protection. This means that there are no technical restrictions to prevent illegal distribution.
