Description
Building on the basic concepts through a careful discussion of covalence, (while adhering resolutely to sequences where possible), the
main part of the book concerns the central topics of continuity, differentiation and integration of real functions. Throughout, the historical
context in which the subject was developed is highlighted and particular attention is paid to showing how precision allows us to refine
our geometric intuition. The intention is to stimulate the reader to reflect on the underlying concepts and ideas.
Audience:
First and second year mathematics undergraduates. Science and engineering undergraduates.
