Book Reviews of Differential and Integral Calculus, Vol. 1 (Volume 1)
Book Review: Worth a look
Summary: 5 Stars
This work has an honored place on my bookshelf. A colleague
recommended it to me when I was in school and I bought a copy after
looking at it in the school's library. It sits next to my copy of
"The Feynman Lectures in Physics". These are works you go to for
insight. I like Courant's mixture of physical examples with the
mathematics.
After encountering Courant's book for the first time, I remember
wondering why the first volume wasn't used as the textbook for the
typical year and a half of basic calculus. Then, as now, I can only
conclude that teachers probably think it's not watered down enough for
the students. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise to come across
Courant after you've been taught calculus from an uninspiring "modern"
text.
Everyone's needs are different, so take all reviews with a grain of
salt. As a working scientist/engineer, my primary use of the calculus
is as a tool to get things done, so I'm typically more interested in
learning the mechanics than getting a deep understanding like a
mathematician would. Courant works for this, yet still allows one
to dig in deeper when desired. It's still an awfully good book, even
if it is 70 years old.
