Calculus Volume I by Tom M. Apostol is a complete reference which will enable the students get a practical account of the equations and proofs in calculus. The book also explains the  origins, meaning, and applications of these equations. Summary Of the Book Calculus Volume I is regarded as a classic in mathematics, which explains in details how the equations are derived, what they mean, and how they can be applied in real life. The book is presented in a very easy-to-understand and lucid manner as the author explains to the readers certain concepts that are rarely discussed in calculus. The book covers topics like history of calculus, basic concepts of set theory, summation, notation, mathematical induction, continuous functions, differential calculus, relation between integration and differentiation, polynomial approximations to functions, and vector algebra. In addition, the book also consists of several practice questions to understand the difficult concepts of calculus better. About Tom M. Apostol Tom M. Apostol was born in the year 1923 in Utah, USA. He is an analytic number theorist and university professor. Some of this other popular works include Mathematical Analysis: A Modern Approach to Advanced Calculus, Introduction to Analytic Number Theory, Calculus, Volume 2, Multi-variable Calculus And Linear Algebra With Applications To Differential Equations And Probability, and The Mechanical Universe: Mechanics and Heat, Advanced Edition. Apostol is the creator and project director for Project MATHEMATICS! that produces videos to teach mathematics to high school students. Apostol completed his PhD in mathematics from the University of California, Berkeley. He has since been a faculty member at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and California Institute of Technology. In 2001, he was elected to the Academy of Athens and became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society in 2012.
