Description

‘A First Course in Calculus’ (Third Edition), Written by Serge Lang

World Student Series Edition.

To the Third Edition

The text has been changed mostly by the addition of a large number of worked-out examples, and the rewriting of some sections.
Because many students from high schools have often been exposed to some calculus, one can cover the material more rapidly than used to be the case. Nevertheless, I have decided to preserve the first two chapters, for the convenience of those coming to the study of Calculus with shaky background.
It will also be frequently useful to cover during the first year those portions of the theory of differentiation in several variables which can be handled essentially by one-variable methods, combined with a minimum from the theory of vectors. Hence, I have included in the present volume four chapters from the second course, Calculus of Several Variables, dealing with that part of the subject.
This increase in size of the book from its first edition is due to the factors mentioned above, and seems justified in view of the increased flexibility as a text.
