First Principles of the Differential and Integral Calculus: Or the Doctrine of Fluxions, Intended as an Introduction to the Physico-Mathematical ... From the French for the Use of the Stu - Softcover
Synopsis
Mastering the foundations of calculus, from the basics to practical applications
This is an historical introduction to the differential and integral calculus, drawn from Bézout’s classic work and presented as an accessible entry point for students of the physico-m mathematical sciences.
The edition explains the core ideas of infinitesimal reasoning, with clear examples and step-by-step methods that connect theory to geometry and measurement.
Readers will follow the development of differential calculus, learn how to handle differentials, tangents, and curves, and explore the integral calculus through quadrature, rectification, and the geometry of solids of revolution. The book also includes explanations, notes, and perspectives that show how these techniques fit into a broader mathematical course.
- Foundational concepts in differential and integral calculus, including differentials and their applications
- Techniques for tangents, normals, curvature, and the rectification of curves
- Applications to curved surfaces, solids of revolution, and measures of solidity
- Historical notes and a clear, practical approach suitable for students
Ideal for readers of older mathematical texts who want a solid introduction to calculus and its methods, presented in a concise, transferable way.

First Principles of the Differential and Integral Calculus (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces the reader to the principles of what would become known as the infinitesimal calculus. The foundational concept in this book is the idea of a quantity that is infinitely small, yet not zero. The author uses these quantities to develop the method of differentiation (i.e., calculating the instantaneous rate of change of a quantity) and integration (i.e., calculating the sum of a continuously varying quantity over an interval). The author's ultimate goal is to show how these ideas can be used to solve problems in the sciences, especially mechanics. Overall, the book takes a revolutionary approach to mathematics and provides the framework for much of the math used in the sciences today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330364291_0
