Calculus for the Ambitious

From the author of The Pleasures of Counting and Naı̈ve Decision Making comes a
calculus book perfect for self-study. It will open up the ideas of the calculus for any 16
to 18 year old about to begin studies in mathematics, and will be useful for anyone
who would like to see a different account of the calculus from that given in the
standard texts.
In a lively and easy-to-read style, Professor Körner uses approximation and
estimates in a way that will easily merge into the standard development of analysis. By
using Taylor’s theorem with error bounds he is able to discuss topics that are rarely
covered at this introductory level. This book describes important and interesting ideas
in a way that will enthuse a new generation of mathematicians.

t. w. k örner is Professor of Fourier Analysis in the Department of Pure


Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics at the University of Cambridge. His previous
books include The Pleasures of Counting and Fourier Analysis.
