Abstract
THERE has long been a need for a modern English textbook on the advanced parts of differential and integral calculus. The older books were comprehensive in scope, but deficient in rigour; the newer ones give a careful discussion of limits and continuity, but they ignore such topics as Jacobians and maxima and minima of functions of two independent variables. Many years ago, Mr. Chaundy started to write a differential calculus which should combine the English plan with Continental rigour, but in the course of time it has developed into something rather difficult to classify.
