Thank you for reading this short preface. Allow us to share a few key points about the text so that you may better understand what you will find beyond this page.
This text comprises a three-volume series on Calculus. The first part covers material taught in many “Calculus 1” courses: limits, derivatives, and the basics of integration, found in Chapters 1 through 6. The second text covers material often taught in “Calculus 2”: integration and its applications, along with an introduction to sequences, series and Taylor Polynomials, found in Chapters 7 through 10. The third text covers topics common in “Calculus 3” or “Multivariable Calculus”: parametric equations, polar coordinates, vector-valued functions, and functions of more than one variable, found in Chapters 11 through 15. All three are available separately for free.
Printing the entire text as one volume makes for a large, heavy, cumbersome book. One can certainly only print the pages they currently need, but some prefer to have a nice, bound copy of the text. Therefore this text has been split into these three manageable parts, each of which can be purchased separately.
A result of this splitting is that sometimes material is referenced that is not contained in the present text. The context should make it clear whether the “missing” material comes before or after the current portion. Downloading the appropriate pdf, or the entire APEX Calculus LT pdf, will give access to these topics.
