Synopsis

This book presents a comprehensive introduction to the fields of differential and integral calculus, building from the very fundamentals. It takes a practical approach, introducing theorems through concrete examples, and then demonstrating how to apply them to curve tracing and the study of the geometry of curves and surfaces. The author places particular emphasis on functions of several variables, the elements of the geometry of surfaces and twisted curves, and differential equations. The book is designed to provide a thorough understanding of these subjects, equipping readers with the necessary skills to solve problems that arise in practice. With its focus on applications, this book will appeal to students and practitioners in various fields. Whether one seeks to understand the trajectory of a projectile or the dynamics of a vibrating string, this book provides the foundation for a comprehensive understanding of these and other related phenomena.
