Excerpt from A First Course in the Differential and Integral Calculus

The treatment of the calculus that here follows is based on the courses which I have given in this subject in Harvard Col lege for a number of years and corresponds in its main outlines to the course as given by Professor B. O. Peirce in the early eighties. The introduction of the integral as the limit of a sum at an early stage is due to Professor Byerly, who made this important change more than a dozen years ago. Professor Byerly, moreover, was a pioneer in this country in teaching the calculus by means of problems, his work in this direction dat ing from the seventies.
