This book provides a self-contained and rigorous introduction to calculus of functions of one variable, in a presentation which emphasizes the structural development of calculus. Throughout, the authors highlight the fact that calculus provides a firm foundation to concepts and results that are generally encountered in high school and accepted on faith; for example, the classical result that the ratio of circumference to diameter is the same for all circles. A number of topics are treated here in considerable detail that may be inadequately covered in calculus courses and glossed over in real analysis courses.
“This book would be a valuable asset to a university library and that many instructors would do well to have a copy of this book in their personal libraries. In addition, I believe that some students would benefit if they possessed a copy of this book to use for reference purposes.” (Jonathan Lewin, MAA Reviews, April 15, 2019)
