Abstract
THE introduction of the Calculus at an early stage in a course of elementary mathematics has rendered necessary the substitution of simplified methods of treatment for those occurring in the earlier textbooks; for example, an abandonment of the lavish and unnecessary use of infinite series, the convergency oof which was generally ill-understood, in the differentiation of simple expressions.
