Introduction to Calculus 2 by J. H. Heinbockel

About this book :-
"Introduction to Calculus II" by J. H. Heinbockel is a concise and student-friendly textbook designed for a second course in calculus at the undergraduate level. It is mainly intended for students in "engineering", "science", and "applied mathematics" who already have a basic understanding of limits, derivatives, and elementary integration. The book continues naturally from Calculus I and focuses on strengthening both computational skills and conceptual understanding. The text covers core Calculus II topics such as "integration techniques", applications of integrals, "parametric equations", "polar coordinates", and "sequences and series". Important methods like integration by parts, partial fractions, and improper integrals are explained clearly with step-by-step examples. Later chapters introduce infinite series, convergence tests, and Taylor series, which are essential for advanced mathematics and physics courses. One of the key strengths of this book is its clear, direct writing style and logical structure. It avoids unnecessary complexity while still presenting ideas rigorously. Many students appreciate its suitability for "self-study", as concepts are explained plainly and supported by practical examples and exercises. Overall, "Introduction to Calculus II" is a reliable, well-organized resource for building a strong foundation in integral calculus and series.
