This book is divided into nine chapters; the initial chapters provide revision of fundamental concepts of functions, limits and continuity to help students grasp the idea of the derivations treated in the subsequent chapters. Rules for finding derivatives, Taylor’s and Maclaurin’s theorems and different types of indeterminate forms are thoroughly explained. Further the book covers the convergence and divergence of the series, tangents and normals, curvatures to the curves, maxima and minima of functions of more than one variables and directional derivatives. The text also deals with volume integrals, and concludes with a detailed discussion on the line integrals and surface integrals using divergence and Stokes’ theorems.
