This introduction to calculus is written with cranks in mind, emphasizing practical purposes and mathematical method. It covers the basics of single variable calculus and outlines the mathematical method, emphasizing conceptual clarity and testing hypotheses.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 264 pages
Publication date: 02 March 2021
Publisher: Yale University Press


A fresh perspective on the fundamentals of single-variable calculus is presented in this text, which is written with the aim of catering to individuals who persist in claiming to have grasped a novel mathematical concept despite widespread consensus that they are in error. The foundation of this calculus introduction is built upon the foundational course taught by Nets Katz at Caltech. It places significant emphasis on the practical applications of the foundational principles, such as error tracking in calculations. In addition to covering the core concepts of single-variable calculus, the book provides an overview of the mathematical methodology, which involves the ability to express oneself with utmost precision and then employ logical proofs to establish the universal truthfulness of certain statements. Katz also prioritizes conceptual clarity, the testing of hypotheses, and the development of comprehensive proofs. The outcome is a rigorous calculus textbook that holds value not only for aspiring mathematicians but also for scientists and engineers.
