Excerpt from The Calculus for Engineers and Physicists, Vol. 5: Integration and Differentiation
The following remarks appeared in the Preface to the First Edition of this book This work aims at the presentation of two leading features in the study and application of the higher mathematics. In the first place, the development of the rationale of the subject is based on essentially concrete conceptions, and no appeal is made to what may be termed rational imagination extending beyond the limits of man's actual physical and physiological experience. Thus no use is anywhere made of series of infinite numbers of things or of infinitely small quantities. The author believes that the logical development is both sound and complete without reference to these ideas.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a thorough introduction to the fundamental and important uses of the Integral Calculus, along with much of the Differential Calculus. It does this in a way designed to stimulate a growing desire to progress always further in a branch of science which soon shows itself capable of supplying the key to so many practical investigations. The author presents the subject in a manner so contrary to almost self-evident utility so that students can make progress always further in a branch of science which soon shows itself capable of supplying the key to so many practical investigations. The author presents the subject in a manner so contrary to almost self-evident utility so that students can make progress by spending less time on Differentiation, which is often taught as a separate subject. Integration is widely used in problem-solving in physics, thermodynamics, electrodynamics, engineering design, etc, and the author presents many worked examples illustating its usefulness, making the subject easier to understand. It is especially suited to technical students who need training in scientific thought and for engineers and students of physics who need to use the Calculus. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
