This is a classic textbook that fulfills two essential conditions: it must be accessible to students not only of Mathematics but also of other natural sciences, and it must have a wide range of examples and applications of Calculus from all branches of modern science.

With a presentation of Calculus carefully balanced between mathematical rigor and the need to be understandable to a novice, it manages, without significant compromises, to focus on the golden mean of the basic mathematical education of students in Mathematics and Physics, Computer Science and Engineering, Chemistry and Biology, as well as students of Economic and Social sciences with broader interests.

Enriched with a plethora of examples and exercises, from the exploration of distant space, the environmental problems of supersonic flights, the mechanics of chemical reactions, the absorption of sugar from the blood, or the rates of population growth, the book succeeds in providing its reader with the excitement that stems from the realization of the unity of Science.
