Elementary Differential and Integral Calculus

Originally published in 1936, this book was written with the intention of preparing candidates for the Higher Certificate Examinations. The text was created to bridge the gap between introductions to differential and integral calculus and advanced textbooks on the subject. This volume will be of value to anyone with an interest in differential and integral calculus, mathematics and the history of education.
