Excerpt from Principles of the Differential and Integral Calculus, and Their Application to Geometry In the Integral Calculus the rules for integrating are as concise as clearness, and the nature of the subject seemed to admit. It has often been remarked that no branch of Mathematics requires more skill in algebraic processes, than the Integral Calculus. The stu dent's progress in this, is dependent altogether upon the skill which he possesses in algebraic operations.

Excerpt from Differential and Integral Calculus In the treatment of each topic, the text is intended to contain a precise statement of the fundamental principle involved, and to insure the student's clear understanding of this principle, Without distracting his attention by the discussion of a multitude of details. The accompanying exercises are intended to present the problem in hand in a great variety of forms and guises, and to train the stu dent in adapting the general methods of the text to fit these various forms. The constant aim is to prevent the work from degenerating into mere mechanical routine, as it so often tends to do. Wherever possible, except in the purely formal parts of the course, the summarizing of the theory into rules or formulas which can be applied blindly has been avoided. For instance, in the chapter on geo metric applications of the definite integral, stress is laid on the fact that the basic formulas are those of elemen tary geometry, and special formulas involving a coordinate system are omitted. Where the passage from theory to practice would be too difficult for the average student, worked examples are inserted.
