Synopsis

This book introduces the reader to the Differential and Integral Calculus, an essential branch of mathematics for advancing our understanding of quantity and its role in the universe. The author traces the emergence of the calculus, focusing on the contributions of Newton and Leibnitz. Differential calculus is the mathematics of rates of change. The author shows how to use it to understand velocity, acceleration, and the slope of curves. Integral calculus is the mathematics of accumulation. He shows how to use it to find areas, volumes, and lengths of curves. This book is essential for anyone who wants to develop their understanding of mathematics and its applications to science and engineering.
