Provides a carefully graded series of lessons which introduce the basic concepts of differentiation and integration, with exercises and diagrams.

Students progressing to advanced calculus are frequently confounded by the dramatic shift from mechanical to theoretical and from concrete to abstract. This text bridges the gap, offering a systematic development of the real number system and careful treatment of mappings, sequences, limits, continuity, and metric spaces. The first five chapters consist of a systematic development of many of the important properties of the real number system, plus...

El libro ¿Cómo llegar a ser un aprendiz estratégico de Cálculo Diferencial? Cuaderno de nivelación para iniciar el estudio de Cálculo Diferencial,nace a partir de la investigación titulada: "La mediación B-Learning para el aprendizaje estratégico de Cálculo Diferencial en los estudiantes de primer semestre de ingeniería, de la Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana, Seccional Bucaramanga", que surgió como respuesta a la necesidad de promover...

Fundamental introduction for beginning student of absolute differential calculus and for those interested in applications of tensor calculus to mathematical physics and engineering. Topics include spaces and tensors; basic operations in Riemannian space, curvature of space, special types of space, relative tensors, ideas of volume, and more.

This text for advanced undergraduate and graduate students presents a rigorous approach that also emphasizes applications. Encompassing more than the usual amount of material on the problems of computation with series, the treatment offers many applications, including those related to the theory of special functions. Numerous problems appear throughout the book. The first chapter introduces the elementary theory of infinite series, followed by a relatively...

Nearly 200 problems, each with a detailed, worked-out solution, deal with the properties and applications of the gamma and beta functions, Legendre polynomials, and Bessel functions. The first two chapters examine gamma and beta functions, including applications to certain geometrical and physical problems such as heat-flow in a straight wire. The following two chapters treat Legendre polynomials, addressing applications to specific series expansions,...

Based on a series of lectures given by I. M. Gelfand at Moscow State University, this book actually goes considerably beyond the material presented in the lectures. The aim is to give a treatment of the elements of the calculus of variations in a form both easily understandable and sufficiently modern. Considerable attention is devoted to physical applications of variational methods, e.g., canonical equations, variational principles of mechanics,...
