Résumé :

This textbook covers key topics of Elementary Calculus through selected exercises, in a sequence that facilitates development of problem-solving abilities and techniques. It opens with an introduction to fundamental facts of mathematical logic, set theory, and pre-calculus, extending toward functions, limits, derivatives, and integrals. Over 300 solved problems are approached with a simple, direct style, ordered in a way that positively challenges students and helps them build self-confidence as they progress. A special final chapter adds five carefully crafted problems for a comprehensive recap of the work.

The book is aimed at first-year students of fields in which calculus and its applications have a role, including Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, Economics, Architecture, Management, and Applied Social Sciences, as well as students of Quantitative Methods courses. It can also serve as rich supplementary reading for self-study.
