This unique book provides a new and well-motivated introduction to
calculus and analysis, historically significant fundamental areas
of mathematics that are widely used in many disciplines. It begins
with familiar elementary high school geometry and algebra, and
develops important concepts such as tangents and derivatives
without using any advanced tools based on limits and infinite
processes that dominate the traditional introductions to the
subject. This simple algebraic method is a modern version of an
idea that goes back to Rene Descartes and that has been largely
forgotten. Moving beyond algebra, the need for new analytic
concepts based on completeness, continuity, and limits becomes
clearly visible to the reader while investigating exponential
functions.The author carefully develops the necessary foundations
while minimizing the use of technical language. He expertly guides
the reader to deep fundamental analysis results, including
completeness, key differential equations, definite integrals,
Taylor series for standard functions, and the Euler identity. This
pioneering book takes the sophisticated reader from simple familiar
algebra to the heart of analysis. Furthermore, it should be of
interest as a source of new ideas and as supplementary reading for
high school teachers, and for students and instructors of calculus
and analysis.
