A Text-book of Differential Calculus: With Numerous Worked out Examples by Ganesh Prasad
About this book :-
"A Text-Book of Differential Calculus: With Numerous Worked Out Examples" by Ganesh Prasad is a classic introduction to "differential calculus". First published in 1909, the book was designed to make calculus approachable for students with varying mathematical backgrounds. Prasad focuses on clarity and structure, gradually building concepts from limits and continuity to differentiation and its applications.
The book stands out for its extensive "worked examples", which illustrate each concept step by step. These examples allow students to see the practical use of theoretical principles, making problem-solving more intuitive. By applying derivatives to real-world scenarios, Prasad helps learners connect abstract calculus concepts with tangible applications.
Renowned for its systematic and accessible approach, Prasad’s text has remained a valuable resource for both students and educators. Its emphasis on clear explanations, practical exercises, and "differential calculus" applications ensures it is still relevant today. Available in the public domain, this book provides a historical perspective on calculus education while serving as a practical learning tool for anyone seeking to strengthen their understanding of calculus fundamentals.
