Excerpt from Elementary Functions and Applications
This book presents a coherent year's work in mathematics for college freshmen, consisting of a study of the elementary functions, algebraic and transcendental, and their applications to problems arising in various fields of knowledge. The treatment is confined to functions of one variable, with incidental exceptions, and complex values of the independent and dependent variables are excluded. The subject matter includes the essentials of plane trigonometry and topics from advanced algebra, analytic geometry, and calculus.
The text is the result of experiments beginning in 1907-8. It has been used in the classroom since 1913-14, and each year extensive revisions have been made. Hence the content of the course, the order of topics, and the manner of presentation are based upon the experience of several years.
The unity of the course is gained by an explicit analysis of the functions studied, which enables the student to comprehend the purpose of the course as a whole and the nature of the investigation of properties of functions of a given type. This analysis consists of three parts:
First. Relations between a given function and its graph (see pages 42 and 274). Most of these relations are considered in the first chapter so that at the start the student is made aware of a number of questions which will be investigated in studying a particular type of functions.
Second. Relations between pairs of functions and their graphs (see page 152). These geometric transformations are introduced in connection with simple algebraic functions so that they are familiar tools by the time they are needed for the study of transcendental functions.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a coherent year's work of mathematics for college freshmen. It covers elementary functions, both algebraic and transcendental, and studies their applications to problems arising in various fields of knowledge. Complex values of the independent and dependent variables are excluded, but the subject matter includes the essentials of plane trigonometry and topics from advanced algebra, analytic geometry, and calculus. The approach of the author is to present a coherent analysis of the functions studied, which enables the student to comprehend the purpose of the course as a whole and the nature of the investigation of properties of functions of a given type. Emphasis is placed on characteristic properties which distinguish one class of functions from another. The course increases in difficulty with a corresponding increase in interest and gain in power on the part of the student. Questions of variability, average rate of change, and graphical representations are introduced. Trigonometric functions are treated at some length and several properties of exponential and logarithmic functions are developed. The book will be of interest not only to students of mathematics but also to those interested in the applications of mathematics to other fields. The insights provided by the author on the nature of functions and their properties are of fundamental importance in understanding the mathematical underpinnings of many natural and social phenomena. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330415559_0
