Calculus cover

This book will support undergraduates in an easy transition from school calculus to concepts like differential calculus and analysis.

This book is designed for students pursuing undergraduate studies in mathematics or disciplines like physics, economics, and engineering where formal mathematics is important. The author has blended geometric intuition and algorithmic thinking with formal proofs, providing a bridge from school calculus to university analysis.Calculus is important for first-year undergraduate students pursuing mathematics, physics, economics, engineering, and other disciplines where mathematics plays a significant role. The book provides a thorough reintroduction to calculus with an emphasis on logical development arising out of geometric intuition. The author has restructured the subject matter in the book by using Tarski's version of the completeness axiom, introducing integration before differentiation and limits, and emphasizing benefits of monotonicity before continuity. The standard transcendental functions are developed early in a rigorous manner and the monotonicity theorem is proved before the mean value theorem. Each concept is supported by diverse exercises which will help the reader to understand applications and take them nearer to real and complex analysis.

'I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. For students, it provides a review of familiar topics treated rigorously and an exposure to new and powerful ideas in real analysis. The material is very skilfully woven together with just the right amount of supporting detail and motivation and apposite examples (and counterexamples). And for lecturers, there is much food for thought in the author's innovative approach to what is ostensibly very standard fare, as well as some excellent and well thought-through collections of exercises.'
