Synopsis

Clear, student-friendly introductions to differential calculus with worked examples.

This edition presents the foundations of the subject, including the Doctrine of Limits, and shows how differentiation connects to early ideas of fluxions and infinitesimals. It blends historical context with practical techniques so learners grasp both why and how to differentiate.

The book surveys key concepts in one-variable differentiation and extends to related topics such as polar coordinates, tangents, normals, and the tracing of curves. It offers numerous worked examples, from basic algebraic functions to more complex expansions and applications, helping readers build confidence through step-by-step solutions.

• Readable explanations of the methods used in differential calculus, with historical notes on fluxions and limits.
• A progression from simple functions to derivatives of more complex expressions, including binomial and exponential cases.
• Worked exercises on tangents, normals, asymptotes, curvature, and curve tracing.
• Tables of contents with topics like derivatives of functions of one variable, polar coordinates, and singular points for reference and practice.

Ideal for students seeking a solid, applied grounding in differentiation and its notation, and for self-guided learners who appreciate clear, example-driven instruction.
