About the Book
This book is intended as an introduction to mathematical analysis. It includes material covering all sections of mathematical analysis taught at the secondary school level. The book examines derivatives of polynomials, trigonometric functions, exponential and logarithmic functions. The integral is presented as an operation inverse to differentiation, as the area under a graph, and as the limit of finite sums. At the end of book, exercises are provided for each section.
The emphasis is placed not on the rigour of exposition, but on computational technique.
For senior school students and for anyone beginning to study mathematical analysis.
