PREFACE
This book is an adaptation of 10th edition of the best-selling title, Calculus by Howard Anton, Irl Bivens and Stephens Davis and 10th edition of Advanced Engineering Mathematics by Erwin Kreyszig. Noted for their expository style and clarity of presentation, this text presents an elementary treatment of the subject and addresses the changing needs of a new generation of students. The aim is to present the fundamentals of calculus in the clearest possible way − pedagogy being the main consideration.
The book has been prepared as per the syllabus of B.Tech. course − MAT 101, Linear Algebra and Calculus, APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University (KTU), Kerala. After each section Solved Examples are provided taken from previous year KTU papers and Model papers.
The readers are requested to see the SYLLABUS MAP to see how the chapters map with the syllabus
requirement.
In tune with the needs of the students, adequate care has been taken to incorporate all the necessary topics.
The book presents the subject matter in a well-organized, modest and user-friendly manner, so that student community and teaching fraternity would get the maximum benefit from this endeavor.
The most outstanding and distinguishing feature of the book is the large number typical solved examples followed by the well-defined step-by-step procedure to solve the problems.
