Calculus for the ambitious

From the author of The Pleasures of Counting and NaïvDecision 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.
Opens up some beautiful mathematics that will inspire the next generation of professional mathematiciansStudents are taught to understand ideas rather than just pass exams, which better prepares them for work after university
Almost 200 exercises provide students with plenty of practiceA highly regarded author whose previous titles include The Pleasures of Counting, Fourier Analysis and Naïve Decision Making.(http://www.cambridge.org/nl/academic/subjects/mathematics/real-and-complex-analysis/calculus-ambitious?format=HB)
