Calculus II tends to be a very difficult course for many students. The first reason is that this course does require that you have a very good working knowledge of Calculus I. The second, and probably larger, reason many students have difficulty with Calculus II is that you will be asked to truly think in this class. Here are a couple of warnings to my students who may be here to get a copy of what happened on a day that you missed. Here is a listing (and brief description) of the material that is in this set of notes. Integration by Parts – In this section we will be looking at Integration by Parts.

What Is Calculus? Calculus is a branch of mathematics that explores variables and how they change by looking at them in infinitely small pieces called infinitesimals. Calculus, as it is practiced today, was invented in the 17th century by British scientist Isaac Newton (1642 to 1726) and German scientist Gottfried Leibnitz (1646 to 1716), who independently developed the principles of calculus in the traditions of geometry and symbolic mathematics, respectively. While these two discoveries are most important to calculus as it is practiced today, they were not isolated incidents. At least two others are known: Archimedes (287 to 212 B.C.) in Ancient Greece and Bhāskara II (A.D. 1114 to 1185) in medieval India developed calculus ideas long before the 17th century. Tragically, the revolutionary nature of these discoveries either wasn't recognized or else was so buried in other new and difficult-to-understand ideas that they were nearly forgotten until modern times. The study of calculus has two halves.

How We Got from There to Here: A Story of Real Analysis From Number to Cantor's Theorem, this book brings you on a journey of the development of mathematical analysis. Several important stops along the way include Taylor Series, the Bolazano-Weierstrass Theorem, and Cauchy Sequences, I cannot think of any notable omissions along the road. Spot on, though the text is built on problems that leave a lot of work for the reader. The approach the authors take is essentially timeless, in that it brings us to modern analysis. There are times when the prosaic nature of the narrative is a little strained, but the intention is to make the text more accessible. Very strong. The text builds naturally through the history of mathematical analysis, so modularity is not itself a strong objective. Time is a natural progression -- the time of mathematics development and how results build from one generation of mathematicians to the next -- and this text flows naturally through this development. The text is well put together and easy to use.

Calculus, Vol. 1: One-Variable Calculus, with an Introduction to Linear Algebra: Tom M. Apostol: 8601421911375: Amazon.com: Books A Primer of Real Analysis This book consists of all essential sections that students should know in the class, Analysis or Introduction of Real Analysis. First, in chapter 1, it has crucial prerequisite contents. Second, from chapter 2 to 8, the order of sections is reasonable and well-organized. The content looks good and little error. In the class, Analysis, students learn about the fundamental mathematical structures and concepts, and the related textbook also does not have any space adding the up to date contents. All text is from the mathematics terminology that makes the writing lucid and readable. In every chapter, it has used consistent letters and terminologies. The book breaks into separated sections, and each part is short and consists of readable and accessible text. The order of topics is in general. This text has a lot of essential and useful figures and formulas. It looks no grammatical errors. This textbook is for pure mathematics. Overall, the textbook is very well-organized.

Prospective educators or mathematically gifted high school students can also benefit from the mathematical maturity that can be gained from an introductory real analysis course. The book is designed to fill the gaps left in the development of calculus as it is usually presented in an elementary course, and to provide the background required for insight into more advanced courses in pure and applied mathematics. The standard elementary calculus sequence is the only specific prerequisite for Chapters 1–5, which deal with real-valued functions. (However, other analysis oriented courses, such as elementary differential equation, also provide useful preparatory experience.)
