Excerpt from An Introductory Course in the Differential and Integral Calculus: For Students in EngineeringA Process of Summation. Much confusion for the student is caused by this twofold meaning of the word: and the term Anti-differentiation is employed herein for The Inverse of Differentiation while the term Integration is restricted to the distinctive Calculus Process of Summation.It would be a pleasing and becoming task to acknowledge my great indebtedness to many men and books in the preparation of this work, but it is quite impossible. To the admirable treatises of Professor William E. Byerly, and to his inspiring instruction, I am under special obligations.I must thank my colleagues, Mr. A. B. Frizell and Dr. D. F. Campbell, for much kind assistance in revising and correcting the proofs.In the preparation of this Course, the needs of my own classes alone have been before me, and a strong desire to help them has been my motive for the undertaking. If they find it a clear, interesting, and stimulating introduction to a great branch of Science, I' shall feel abundantly satisfied.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
