    reface

    During the latter part of the seventeenth century the new mathematical analysis emerged as the dominating force in mathematics.t is characterized by the amazingly successful operation with infiniteprocesses or limits. Two of these processes, differentiation and integration, became the core of the systematic Differential and IntegralCalculus, often simply called Calculus, basic for all of analysis.The importance of the new discoveries and methods was immediatelyfelt and caused profound intellectual excitement. Yet, to gain masteryof the powerful art appeared t first a formidable task, for the available publications were scanty, unsystematic, and often lacking inclarity. Thus, it was fortunate indeed for mathematics and sciencein general that leaders in the new movement soon recognized thevital need for writing textbooks aimed t making the subject accessible to a public much larger than the very small intellectual elite ofthe early days. One of the greatest mathematicians of modern times,Leonard Euler, established in introductory books a firm tradition andthese books of the eighteenth century have remained sources of inspiration until today, even though much progress has been made in theclarification and simplification of the material.

    After Euler, one author after the other adhered to the separation ofdifferential calculus from integral calculus, thereby obscuring a keypoint, the reciprocity between differentiation and integration. Only in1927 when the first edition of R. Courant's German Vorlesungen iiberDifferential und Integralrechnung appeared in the Springer-Verlagwas this separation eliminated and the calculus presented as a unifiedsubject.From that German book and its subsequent editions the presentwork originated. With the cooperation of James and Virginia McShauea greatly expanded and modified English edition of the Calculus w ~prepared and published by Blackie and Sons in Glasgow since 1934 and

    vi refacedistributed in the United States in numerous reprintings by Interscience-Wiley.During the years it became apparent that the need of college and university instruction in the United States made a rewriting of this workdesirable. Yet it seemed unwise to tamper with the original versionswhich have remained and still are viable.Instead of trying to remodel the existing work it seemed preferable tosupplement it by an essentially new book in many ways related to theEuropean originals but more specifically directed at the needs of thepresent and future students in the United States. Such a plan becamefeasible when Fritz John who had already greatly helped in the preparation of the first English edition agreed to write the new book togetherwith R. Courant.While it differs markedly in form and content from the original it isanimated by the same intention: To lead the student directly to theheart of the subject and to prepare him for active application of hisknowledge. t avoids the dogmatic style which conceals the motivationand the roots of the calculus in intuitive reality. To exhibit the interaction between mathematical analysis and its various applications and toemphasize the role of intuition remains an important aim of this newbook. Somewhat strengthened precision does not as w hope interfere with this aim.Mathematics presented as a closed linearly ordered system of truthswithout reference to origin and purpose has its charm and satisfies aphilosophical need. But the attitude of introverted science is unsuitablefor students who seek intellectual independence rather than indoctrination; disregard for applications and intuition leads to isolation andatrophy of mathematics. t seems extremely important that studentsand instructors should be protected from smug purism.The book is addressed to students on various levels to mathematicians scientists engineers. t does not pretend to make the subjecteasy by glossing over difficulties but rather tries to help the genuinelyinterested reader by throwing light on the interconnections and purposesof the whole.Instead of obstructing the access to the wealth of facts by lengthydiscussions of a fundamental nature w have sometimes postponed suchdiscussions to appendices in the various chapters.Numerous examples and problems are given at the end of variouschapters. Some are challenging some are even difficult; most of themsupplement the material in the text. n an additional pamphlet more

    Preface viiproblems and exercises of a routine character will be collected andmoreover answers or hints for the solutions will be given.Many colleagues and friends have been helpful. Albert A Blanknot only greatly contributed incisive and constructive criticism but healso played a major role in ordering augmenting and sifting of theproblems and exercises and moreover he assumed the main responsi-bility for the pamphlet. Alan Solomon helped most unselfishly andeffectively in all phases of the preparation of the book. Thanks is alsodue to Charlotte John Anneli Lax R. Richtmyer and other friendsincluding James and Virginia McShane.The first volume is concerned primarily with functions of a singlevariable whereas the second volume will discuss the more ramifiedtheories of calculus for functions of several variables.A final remark should be addressed to the student reader. t mightprove frustrating to attempt mastery of the subject by studying such abook page by page following an even path. Only by selecting shortcutsfirst and returning time and again to the same questions and difficultiescan one gradually attain a better understanding from a more elevatedpoint.

    n attempt was made to assist users of the book by marking with anasterisk some passages which might impede the reader t his first at-tempt. Also some of the more difficult problems are marked by anasterisk.

    We hope that the work in the present new form will be useful to theyoung generation of scientists. We are aware of many imperfectionsand we sincerely invite critical comment which might be helpful for laterimprovements.
