First course calculus texts have traditionally been either“engineering/science-oriented” with too little rigor,or have thrown students in the deep end with a rigorous analysistext. The How and Why of One Variable Calculus closes thisgap in providing a rigorous treatment that takes an original andvaluable approach between calculus and analysis. Logicallyorganized and also very clear and user-friendly, it covers 6 maintopics; real numbers, sequences, continuity, differentiation,integration, and series. It is primarily concerned with developingan understanding of the tools of calculus. The author presentsnumerous examples and exercises that illustrate how the techniquesof calculus have universal application. The How and Why of One Variable Calculus presents anexcellent text for a first course in calculus for students in themathematical sciences, statistics and analytics, as well as a textfor a bridge course between single and multi-variable calculus aswell as between single variable calculus and upper level theorycourses for math majors.

This book is designed to serve as a textbook for courses offered to undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in Mathematics. The first edition of this book was published in 2015. As there is a demand for the next edition, it is quite natural to take note of the several suggestions received from the users of the earlier edition over the past six years. This is the prime motivation for bringing out a revised second edition with a thorough revision of all the chapters. The book provides a clear understanding of the basic concepts of differential and integral calculus starting with the concepts of sequences and series of numbers, and also introduces slightly advanced topics such as sequences and series of functions, power series, and Fourier series which would be of use for other courses in mathematics for science and engineering programs. The salient features of the book are - precise definitions of basic concepts; several examples for understanding the concepts and for illustrating the results; includes proofs of theorems; exercises within the text; a large number of problems at the end of each chapter as home-assignments. The student-friendly approach of the exposition of the book would be of great use not only for students but also for the instructors. The detailed coverage and pedagogical tools make this an ideal textbook for students and researchers enrolled in a mathematics course.

Revised edition of a standard textbook for a three-semester (or four- to five-quarter) introduction to calculus. In addition to covering all the standard topics, it includes a number of features written to accomplish three goals: to make calculus easier through the use of examples, graphs, reviews, etc.; to help students appreciate the beauty of calculus through the use of applications in a wide variety of fields; and to make calculus interesting by discussing the historical development of the subject.

This book goes beyond the basics of a first course in calculus to reveal the power and richness of the subject. Standard topics from calculus — such as the real numbers, differentiation and integration, mean value theorems, the exponential function — are reviewed and elucidated before digging into a deeper exploration of theory and applications, such as the AGM inequality, convexity, the art of integration, and explicit formulas for π. Further topics and examples are introduced through a plethora of exercises that both challenge and delight the reader. While the reader is thereby exposed to the many threads of calculus, the coherence of the subject is preserved throughout by an emphasis on patterns of development, of proof and argumentation, and of generalization. More Calculus of a Single Variable is suitable as a text for a course in advanced calculus, as a supplementary text for courses in analysis, and for self-study by students, instructors, and, indeed, all connoisseurs of ingenious calculations.

Adopts a user-friendly approach, with an emphasis on worked examples and exercises, rather than abstract theory The computer algebra and graphical package MAPLE is used to illustrate many of the ideas and provides an additional aid to teaching and learning Supplementary material, including detailed solutions to exercises and MAPLE worksheets, is available via the web

Richly textured and versatile text characterizes real numbers as a complete, ordered field. Rigorous development of the calculus, plus thorough treatment of basic topics of limits and inequalities. 1968 edition.
