Higher mathematics 1 (Q2892975)

This well-crafted work is a textbook intended to serve technical-college students. It is, indeed, the outgrowth of the author's teaching in a college of that sort. Basic concepts are carefully considered, and helpful arguments make accessible the notions upon which the proofs of theorems depend. As the author notes, the text is not a substitute for a classical treatise on analysis, but may well serve as a useful complement to such a work. The book is divided into seven chapters: Allgemeine Grundlagen; Lineare Formen; Quadratische Formen und Polynome; Ableitungen; Reihen; Trigonometrie; Anwendungen der Differentialrechnung.
