  • QA 303 .S65 1908
Contents:
Chapter I. Introductory -- Chapter II. General ideas and principles, algebraic and graphic symbolism -- Chapter III. Easy and familiar examples of integration and differentiation -- Chapter IV. Important general laws -- Chapter V. Particular laws -- Chapter VI. transformations and reductions -- Chapter VII. Successive differentiation and multiple integration -- Chapter VIII. Independent variables -- Chapter IX. Maxima and minima -- Appendices.
Summary: "This work aims at the presentation of two leading features in the study and application of the higher mathematics. In the first place, the development of the rationale of the subject is based on essentially concrete conceptions, and no appeal is made to what may be termed rational imagination extending beyond the limits of man's actual physical and physiological experience. In the second place, a set of Eleven Classified Tables of Integrals and Methods of Integration has been arranged in such manner as seemed best adapted to facilitate rapid reference, and thus relieve the mind engaged in practical mathematical work of the burden of memorising a great mass of formulas." -- Preface
