This book provides a full and clear account of the essentials of
calculus, presented in an engaging style that is both readable and
mathematically precise. Concepts and central ideas are emphasized
throughout. Physical examples and interpretations play a leading
role, and alternative approaches to fundamental ways of thinking
help the student develop the intuitive understanding so important
in science and engineering. Many questions and problems, with
detailed solutions, encourage active reading and independent
thought. Usable either as a basic classroom text or as a supplement
that will give the reader a grasp of calculus as a whole, the book
is also ideally suited for self-study.
Valery's Graveyard is in two parts. The first part presents the
French text of Paul Valery's poem Le Cimetiere marin (The Graveyard
by the Sea) and a facing English translation, followed by a
descriptive account of the poem that sets out its main structural
and dynamic features and traces its narrative. The second part
consists of nine short chapters on selected themes of the poem in
their relation to the poet's thought, including certain of his
scientific concerns, and to literature ancient and modern. Le
Cimetiere marin is one of the most celebrated works of poetry of
the last hundred years, widely recognized as distinguished for
beauty of form and wealth of meaning. On the basis of the French
text and a translation that is at once accurate and poetical, this
book provides an introduction to the poem, and thereby to the
complex intellectual world of Valery. It exhibits the depth and
breadth both of the poem and of the poet's thought. A valuable
resource for scholars, Valery's Graveyard is accessible to all
serious readers. As it does not require a knowledge of French, the
book is suitable for study in any course on modern literature.
