Overview

Excerpt from Differential Calculus: With Unusual and Particular Analysis of Its Elementary Principles, and Copious Illustrations of Its Practical Application Aware of the indispensable importance, to a learner of any new branch of science, that his already acquired knowledge of the most nearly allied character should be adopted as the central principle, around which the new ideas and sugges tions are to acquire distinctness and character, the author has commenced this treatise with the terms and appliances of algebra, assiduously preserved and employed. The student is thus enabled to hold his familiar ground, see his former paths and landmarks, find the new objects designed for his atten tion, tangible and actual, the fruits such that he may grasp them, and add to the previous nurture and furnishings of his mind. Accordingly, he will find here his favorite algebraic problems placed before him in the phase in which the calculus is' required for their solution. The author is not aware that concrete, practical problems of this character were ever before published. In this manner is shown the early and element ary nature of the calculus; that it entwines itself around the very threshold of mathematical inquiry.
