Excerpt from Differential and Integral Calculus for Beginners: Adapted to the Use of Physics and Mechanics

Letters received from time to time from a, great variety of students showed that these articles met a real Want, and it was ultimately decided to amplify and extend them, and publish them in book form. The present volume is the result of that decision.

In the following pages no attempt has been made to develop the subject as a branch of abstract mathematics the aim has been to provide the physical student with a valuable engine of research, and to accustom him to its use. Many discussions found in larger treatises Will, therefore, be unmentioned in the present work, as possessing no interest from a. Physical point of view. Lack of space must serve as an excuse for the omission of a few ele mentary investigations which possess a. Real value to the physical student.

Excerpt from Differential and Integral Calculus for Beginners: Adapted to the Use of Physics and Mechanics

In commencing the study of advanced theoretical physics, students frequently find themselves hopelessly handicapped by their lack of knowledge of the higher mathematics. Most of the text-books on the Differential and Integral Calculus are unsuited to afford material assistance, being far too full and detailed in some respects, and deficient or entirely wanting in others. In order to assist students labouring under these difficulties, a series of articles was commenced in the pages of The Practical Teacher in the month of April 1898. In these it was sought to explain the essential principles of the Calculus shorn of all extraneous difficulties, and to lead the student by natural and easy stages to the application of these principles to important problems in mechanics and physics.

Letters received from time to time from a great variety of students showed that these articles met a real want, and it was ultimately decided to amplify and extend them, and publish them in book form. The present volume is the result of that decision.

Lack of space must serve as an excuse for the omission of a few elementary investigations which possess a real value to the physical student.
