A Primer of Calculus

4.9/5 (34651 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from A Primer of Calculus This Primer has been written to meet the needs of the author, first, for a primary course in the calculus, and secondly, for an outline of topics in a more advanced course that is suitable for combined lecture and text book instruction. The author's method of development is essentially Newton's method of fluxions, as presented by Hamilton in his Elements of Quaternions, Bk. III, ch. II. This method is clear, logical, and scientific, and it deserves more recognition than it has received in general analysis, if for no other reason than that it is the method of the original discoverer of the calculus. Its failure to be adopted is due to want of early publication and defective notation, since it is remarkably perfect and general in principle. The subsequent discoverer, Leibintz, gained the field by publications in a desirable notation, although founded upon inferior infinitessimal principles. Lagrange attempted a modification of the infinitessimal into the idea of a principal part as determined by first terms of expansions, and made the "differential co-efficient" the primary quantity. Modern text books have returned to Newton's method of limits as applied to Lagrange's differential co-efficient; there is here offered a complete return to Newton, with the fluxion or differential as the primary quantity.
