Elementary Calculus: An Infinitesimal Approach (CA Textbook)

Abstract:

This is a calculus textbook at the college Freshman level based on Abraham Robinson's infinitesimals, which date from 1960. Robinson's modern infinitesimal approach puts the intuitive ideas of the founders of the calculus on a mathematically sound footing, and is easier for beginners to understand than the more common approach via limits.

This digital textbook was reviewed for its alignment with California content standards.
