Abstract
THE author of this useful volume touches a vital spot when he says that "while in a first course many students acquire some facility in manipulating calculus symbols, very few obtain a real understanding of the fundamental ideas of the subject". The text has therefore been prepared in order to present the principles and processes of the calculus with special clarity and simplicity without sacrificing accuracy, and there is no doubt that the author has carried out his aim with skill and thoroughness.
