Calculus  (English, Mixed media product, Bivens Davis Anton)

Learn and brush up your mathematical understanding of calculus by reading this detailed textbook on calculus.

Summary Of The Book

Calculus is an inseparable part of Modern Mathematics which refers to the mathematical study of change. It is further subdivided into two major branches namely differential calculus and integral calculus. These two subdivisions are interrelated to each other through the fundamental theorem of calculus. Both the subdivisions use the basic ideas of infinite series to a definite limit and convergence of infinite sequences.

This book Calculus, authored by Stephen L. Davis in collaboration with Irl C. Bivens and Howard Anton, is a complete, comprehensive book on the subject of Calculus. This book opens with a detailed introduction to calculus.

The various chapters of this book deal with concepts like Vector Calculus, Multiple Integrals, Partial Derivatives, Vector-Valued Functions, Three-Dimensional Space; Vectors, Analytic Geometry in Calculus, Infinite Series, Mathematical Modeling with Differential Equations, Principles of Integral Evaluation, Exponential, Logarithmic and Inverse Trigonometric functions, Applications of the definite Integral in Geometry, Science and Engineering, Integration, the Derivative in Graphing and Applications, Limits and Continuity, and Functions.      

This book is designed in a comprehensive writing style for all the students of Mathematics and Calculus.
