This is the second volume of the series Calculus Illustrated, a textbook for undergraduate students.Mathematical thinking is often visual. The exposition in this book is driven by its 600 color illustrations. Another unique feature of this book is its study of incremental phenomena well in advance of their continuous counterparts. It is called "Discrete Calculus".

Mathematical thinking is visual. The exposition in this book is driven by its illustrations; there are over 600 of them. Calculus is hard. Many students are too late to discover that they could have used a serious precalculus course. The book is intended for self-study and includes only the topics that are absolutely unavoidable. This is the first volume of the series Calculus Illustrated.

Calculus is designed for the typical two- or three-semester general calculus course, incorporating innovative features to enhance student learning. The book guides students through the core concepts of calculus and helps them understand how those concepts apply to their lives and the world around them. Due to the comprehensive nature of the material, we are offering the book in three volumes for flexibility and efficiency. Volume 3 covers parametric equations and polar coordinates, vectors, functions of several variables, multiple integration, and second-order differential equations.

From the reviews: "...one of the best textbooks introducing several generations of mathematicians to higher mathematics. ... This excellent book is highly recommended both to instructors and students." --Acta Scientiarum Mathematicarum, 1991

Mathematics is a science; it studies the inner workings of the Universe.This is the first volume of the series Calculus Illustrated, a textbook for undergraduate students. Only the topics necessary for calculus are included. The book's website hosts the drafts of volumes 2-5.

Elementary linear algebra in light of advanced This is one-semester textbook on elementary linear algebra. However, in light of a more advanced point of view, algebraic manipulations are reduced to a minimum. All prerequisites are included. The exception is the last chapter that shows how linear algebra reveals hidden structures in basic calculus. Appropriate for computing majors. Contents Chapter 1: Sets and functions Chapter 2: Functions as transformations Chapter 3: The 2-dimensional space Chapter 4: Multidimensional spaces Chapter 5: Linear operators Chapter 6: A bird's-eye view of basic calculus

An introduction to the calculus, with an excellent balance between theory and technique. Integration is treated before differentiation -- this is a departure from most modern texts, but it is historically correct, and it is the best way to establish the true connection between the integral and the derivative. Proofs of all the important theorems are given, generally preceded by geometric or intuitive discussion. This Second Edition introduces the mean-value theorems and their applications earlier in the text, incorporates a treatment of linear algebra, and contains many new and easier exercises. As in the first edition, an interesting historical introduction precedes each important new concept.
