This introduction to calculus is written with those cranks in mind, based on the foundational course that Nets Katz teaches at Caltech. It emphasizes the practical purposes of the foundations--for example, for tracking errors in calculations. In addition to covering the basics of single variable calculus, the book outlines the mathematical method--the ability to express oneself with absolute precision and then to use logical proofs to establish that certain statements are universally true. Katz emphasizes conceptual clarity as well as testing hypotheses and writing complete proofs. The result is a rigorous calculus book of use not only to future mathematicians but also to scientists and engineers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nets Hawk Katz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300242794\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300242799\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/26\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Nets Hawk Katz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994524975359,"sku":"9780300242799","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_49eab5fa-06f4-4a8c-8fad-d3df79d838fd.jpg?v=1683330669","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/calculus-for-cranks-nets-hawk-katz-9780300242799","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
