Functions and graphs are discussed, along with derivatives and antiderivatives, curves in the plane, infinite series, and differential equations. Comprised of 15 chapters, this book begins by considering vectors in the plane, the straight line, and conic sections. The next chapter presents some of the basic facts about functions, the formal definition of a function, and the notion of a graph of a function. Subsequent chapters examine the derivative as a linear transformation; higher derivatives and the mean value theorem; applications of graphs; and the definite integral. Transcendental functions and how to find an antiderivative are also discussed, together with the use of parametric equations to determine the curve in a plane; how to solve linear equations; functions of several variables and the derivative and integration of these functions; and problems that lead to differential equations. This monograph is intended for students taking a two- or three-semester course in introductory calculus.
