Calculus  (English, Paperback, Apostol Tom M.)

Calculus Volume I by Tom M. Apostol is a complete reference which will enable the students get a practical account of the equations and proofs in calculus. The book also explains the  origins, meaning, and applications of these equations.

Summary Of the Book

Calculus Volume I is regarded as a classic in mathematics, which explains in details how the equations are derived, what they mean, and how they can be applied in real life. The book is presented in a very easy-to-understand and lucid manner as the author explains to the readers certain concepts that are rarely discussed in calculus. The book covers topics like history of calculus, basic concepts of set theory, summation, notation, mathematical induction, continuous functions, differential calculus, relation between integration and differentiation, polynomial approximations to functions, and vector algebra. In addition, the book also consists of several practice questions to understand the difficult concepts of calculus better.
