About this book :-
"Introduction to Calculus I" by J. H. Heinbockel is a foundational textbook designed for students beginning their study of calculus, especially in science and engineering fields. The book focuses on building a strong mathematical base, starting with essential "precalculus concepts" such as sets, functions, graphs, and limits. Its clear explanations and logical progression make it suitable for both classroom use and self-study. As the book develops, it introduces the core ideas of "differential calculus", including derivatives, differentiation rules, and applications to real-world problems. Heinbockel emphasizes understanding over memorization, using worked examples to explain how and why calculus techniques work. The writing style is direct and instructional, helping students gradually gain confidence with abstract concepts. One of the strengths of "Introduction to Calculus I" is its accessibility. The book is often available as an "open-access textbook", allowing learners to study without cost barriers.
