Calculus can be considered as a set of methodologies developed over a period of time to solve various mathematical problems especially in the field of physics but not limited to it. Newton and Leibniz are considered to be pioneers in that . This book covers basic to advanced topics in that field. The author explained limits, differentiation, integration, its applications, Taylor/power series, numerical analysis and Fourier/trignometric series. This book will be useful for those who are working in/pursuing that field.
