Problems in the Calculus: With Formulas and SuggestionsExcerpt from Problems in the Calculus: With Formulas and Suggestions The present volume is the outgrowth of lists of problems prepared by the author from year to year to supplement the textbook used in the Sheffield Scientific School. Many of the problems have been furnished by his colleagues through the media of test and examination papers, or by direct contribution to this collection at some stage in its development. Since many of these in turn were doubtless adapted from other sources, no attempt has been made to assign a problem to an original source. The principles embodied in the problems are surely common property. The book does not aim to be a textbook on the calculus, nor simply a collection of applied problems in science and engineering. It is believed that a teacher can find here a supplementary list of workable problems on any topic ordinarily included in a general course in the calculus. No attempt is made to explain the theory of any science involved in a problem except in so far as it is necessary to an intelligent understanding of the problem and its purpose. The text introducing the exercises aims to explain the technique of the subject and to point out some common pitfalls to the student. The answers to a large number of the problems have been purposely omitted. The general object has been to give the answer to one or more examples of each type so that the student may attack further examples of a similar nature with increased confidence. At the same time, other answers have been omitted so that the book may be used in tests and in work where it is not desirable for the student to have the answers.
