Examples and Solutions of the Differential Calculus by James Haddon - PDF
About this book :-
"Examples and Solutions in the Differential Calculus" by James Haddon is a textbook designed to help learners master calculus through clear explanations and fully worked exercises. Written in a straightforward style, it offers practical guidance rather than abstract theory, making it especially useful for students who prefer learning by example. The book’s structured approach reflects traditional mathematical teaching while remaining accessible for modern readers.
Haddon covers a wide range of topics, starting from basic differentiation and moving into more advanced themes such as curvature, maxima and minima, and functions of several variables. Each chapter builds gradually, showing how core ideas extend into geometry and problem-solving. This progression makes the text a valuable resource for reinforcing foundational skills while also exploring deeper applications. Its emphasis on reasoning and method helps readers understand not just how to compute derivatives, but why the methods work.
Today, the book remains relevant for students, educators, and history-of-mathematics enthusiasts. Its blend of clear instruction and geometric insight offers a refreshing perspective compared to many modern textbooks. Whether used for self-study or supplementary learning, it provides a strong grasp of classical calculus concepts such as "differentiation", "curvature", "optimization", "homogeneous functions", and "curve tracing", making it a dependable reference even after more than a century.

About Author :-
The author
James Haddon
was a 19th-century mathematics educator known for writing clear, practical textbooks that helped students learn through worked examples rather than abstract theory. Although little biographical detail survives, his work shows a strong focus on making advanced topics accessible to learners, especially those studying independently. Haddon’s most recognized contributions include textbooks on algebra and differential calculus, published in London as part of a popular educational series. His teachings emphasize clarity, step-by-step reasoning, and real problem-solving. Key themes associated with his work include "education", "calculus", "algebra", "self-learning", and "problem-solving".
