Exterior calculus is a branch of mathematics which involves differential geometry. In Exterior calculus the concept of differentiations is generalized to antisymmetric exterior derivatives and the notions of ordinary integration to differentiable manifolds of arbitrary dimensions. It therefore generalizes the fundamental theorem of calculus to Stokes' theorem. This textbook covers the fundamental requirements of exterior calculus in curricula for college students in mathematics and engineering programs. Chapters start from Heaviside-Gibbs algebra, and progress to different concepts in Grassman algebra. The final section of the book covers applications of exterior calculus with solutions. Readers will find a concise and clear study of vector calculus and differential geometry, along with several examples and exercises. The solutions to the exercises are also included at the end of the book. This is an ideal book for students with a basic background in mathematics who wish to learn about exterior calculus as part of their college curriculum and equip themselves with the knowledge to apply relevant theoretical concepts in practical situations.

This classic of the mathematical literature forms a comprehensive study of the inequalities used throughout mathematics. First published in 1934, it presents clearly and exhaustively both the statement and proof of all the standard inequalities of analysis. The authors were well known for their powers of exposition and were able here to make the subject accessible to a wide audience of mathematicians.

"This book is devoted to some recent aspects of calculus. The book contains seven chapters. Chapter 1 introduces the conception for conformable delta (Hilger) derivative and some of its properties. Results in this chapter include basic conformable delta derivative, the conformable exponential function, conformable trigonometric and hyperbolic functions, conformable delta integral and integral rules and Taylor's formula. They are considered first order conformable dynamic equations on time scales. Chapter 2 is devoted to some classes second order quadratic difference equations. They are given criteria for existence of a unique equilibrium point that is stable and unstable, existence of prime period-two solutions. Chapter 3 is aimed to develop two calculi over the specific algebraic operations, preserving the preceding relativistic addition formula and having all ordinary properties. Chapter 4 is devoted to principles of hypercomplex random function calculus. Generalized Gaussian-type hypercomplex valued measures are studied. Random functions controlled by these measures are investigated. Solutions of hyperbolic PDEs over hypercomplex numbers such as the octonion algebra and Cayley-Dickson algebras are scrutinized. Chapter 5 covers the interesting historical aspects of the spreadsheets and their distinct advantages. It is described how the ubiquitous Microsoft Excel spreadsheets can be used to implement well-known numerical methods such as Simpson's Rule and Trapezoidal Rules. Appropriate examples are presented in substantial detail. The aim of Chapter 6 is to show some didactic tools that can be suggested by professors so that students can recall those issues saved in the deepest part of their minds. In Chapter 7, based on fractional differences, a fractional calculus is developed which complies with most of the properties that is to say non-differentiability, non-commutativity of derivative and long-range memory. The book is addressed to a wide audience of specialists such as mathematicians, physicists, engineers and biologists"--

"One of the difficulties that arise in teaching mathematics is related to the identification of the target and the most appropriate teaching methods for the people who are part of it. This aspect, true for all disciplines, applies to mathematics in particular. In fact, for example, an axiomatic approach is certainly suitable for Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, while students of many applied sciences, such as Agricultural and Life Sciences, need to focus on calculation tools and methodologies useful for their professional development rather than in dealing with the theoretical foundations of mathematics. The peculiarity of this book is not so much in setting classical approach "Theorem: Hypothesis, Thesis" with relative proofs, but in adopting a more pragmatic approach that renounce classical demonstrations, while maintaining a formal coherence in the topics dealt with. In this perspective, considering the approach required by the target to which it is addressed, the objective of this book is to provide methods to studying the variation of a phenomenon and its cumulative effects and consequently the study of the functions and the calculation of integrals respectively. One of the qualifying features is given by a series of completely resolved problems, occupying two-thirds of the volume, in which each mathematical step is detailed to understand "step by step" how to obtain the solution"--

Nonlinear differential equations are ubiquitous in computational science and engineering modeling, fluid dynamics, finance, and quantum mechanics, among other areas. Nowadays, solving challenging problems in an industrial setting requires a continuous interplay between the theory of such systems and the development and use of sophisticated computational methods that can guide and support the theoretical findings via practical computer simulations. Owing to the impressive development in computer technology and the introduction of fast numerical methods with reduced algorithmic and memory complexity, rigorous solutions in many applications have become possible. This book collects research papers from leading world experts in the field, highlighting ongoing trends, progress, and open problems in this critically important area of mathematics.

A new approach to the foundations of single variable calculus, based on the introductory course taught at Caltech In mathematics, “cranks” are people who insist they understand something new about math even when the world tells them they are doing it wrong. This introduction to calculus is written with those cranks in mind, based on the foundational course that Nets Katz teaches at Caltech. It emphasizes the practical purposes of the foundations, such as tracking errors in calculations. In addition to covering the basics of single variable calculus, the book outlines the mathematical method—the ability to express oneself with absolute precision and then to use logical proofs to establish that certain statements are universally true. Katz emphasizes conceptual clarity, as well as testing hypotheses and writing complete proofs. The result is a rigorous calculus book of use not only to future mathematicians but also to scientists and engineers.
