Synopsis
This book introduces the fundamentals of Calculus, a subject that has found its way into many non-specialist syllabuses. It focuses on the ideas of gradient and rate of change as related to the differentiation and integration of simple powers of a variable. The book doesn't go beyond rational integral functions of the second degree, giving many practical illustrations of the applications of maxima, minima, small increases, velocity, and acceleration. The author has worked on the assumption that the main ideas and applications of the calculus can be set forth without using functions more complex than x³, x², x¹, and x⁰. Overall, this book is ideal for those who need a minimum of calculus in connection with their subsequent study of other subjects and serves as a useful introduction to a subject which can, at first, seem rather daunting.
