TEXT I. INTEGRAL AND DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS
Calculus is a branch of mathematics using the idea of a limit and generally divided into two parts: integral and differential calculus.

Integral and differential calculus can be used for finding areas, volumes, lengths of curves, centroids and moments of inertia of curved figures. It can be traced back to Eudoxus of Cnidus and his method of exhaustion. Archimedes developed a way of finding the arrears of curved by considering them to be divided by many parallel line segments, and extended it to determine the volumes of certain solids; for this he is sometimes called “father of the integral calculus”.

In the early 17th century interest again developed in measuring volumes by integration methods. Kepler used a procedure for finding the volumes of solids by taking them to be composed of an infinite set of infinitesimally small elements. These ideas were generated by Cavalieri in his “Geometria indivisibilibus continuorum nova” and a volume of indivisible areas; i.e., the concept used by Archimedes in “The Method’. Cavalieri thus developed what became known as his “method of indivisible”. John Wallis, in “Arithmetica infinitorum” arithmetized Cavalieri’s ideas. In this period infinitesimal methods were extensively used to find lengths and areas of curves.

Differential calculus is concerned with the rates of changes of functions with respect of changes in the independent variable. It came out of problems of finding tangents to curves, and an account of the method is published in Isaac Barrow’s “Lectiones geometricae”. Newton had discovered the method and suggested that Barrow include it in his book. In his original theory Newton regarded a function as a changing quality – a fluent – and the derivative or rate of change he called a fluxion. The slope of a curve at a point was found by taking a small element at the point and finding the gradient of a straight line through this element. The binomial theorem was used to find the limiting case, i.e., Newton’s calculus was an application of infinite series. He used the notation x’ and y’ for fluxions and x’’ and y’’ for fluxions of fluxions. Thus, if x=f(t), where x is the distance and t – the time for a moving body, then x’ is the instantaneous velocity and x’’the instantaneous acceleration. Leibniz had also discovered the method by 1676 publishing it in 1684. Newton did not publish until 1687. A bitter dispute arose over the priority for the discovery. In fact it is now known that the two made their discoveries independently and that Newton made his about ten years before Leibniz, although Leibniz published first. The modern notation of dy/dx and the elongated s for integration is due to Leibniz.

From about this time integration came to be regarded simply as the inverse process of differentiation. In the 1820s Cauchy put the differential and integral calculus on a more secure footing by using the concept of a limit. Differentiation he defined by the limit of a ratio and the integration by the limit of a type of sum. The limit definition of integral was made more general by Riemann.

In the 20th century the idea of an integral has been extended. Originally integration was concerned with elementary ideas of measure (i.e., lengths, areas and volumes) and with continuous functions. With the advent of set theory functions came to be regarded as one-to-one mapping, not necessarily continuous, and more general and abstract concepts of measure were introduced. Lévesque put forward a definition based on the Lévesque measure of a set. Similar extensions of the concept have been made by other mathematicians.


NOTE! dx is read “differential of x

dy/dx is read “derivative of y with respect to x

TEXT II. A SEQUENCE AND A SERIES
A sequence is a succession of terms a₁, a2, a3, a4, formed according to some rule or law.

Examples are: 1) 1, 4, 9, 16, 25 ...

2)1,-1, 1,-1, 1 ...

3) x/1!, x2/2!, x3/3!, x4/4! ...

It is not necessary for the terms to be distinct. The terms are ordered by matching them one by one with the positive integers, 1, 2, 3, …The n- th term is thus «n, where n is a positive integer. Sometimes the terms are matched with the non-negative integers, 0, 1, 2, 3, .... A finite sequence has a finite (i.e. limited) number of terms, as in the first example above. An infinite se­quence has an unlimited number of terms, i.e. there is no last term, as in the second and third examples. An infinite sequence can however approach a lim­iting value as the number of terms n becomes very great. Such a sequence is described as a convergent sequence and is said to tend to a limit as n tends to infinity.

With some sequences, the n-th term (or general term) expresses directly the rule by which the terms are formed. This is the case in the three examples above, where the n-th terms are n2, (-l)n+1, xn/n! n, 1 respectively. A sequence is then a function of n, the general term being given by an =ƒ(n) and having as its domain the set of positive integers (or sometimes the set of non-negative inte­gers). A sequence with general term an can be written (an) or { an}.

A series is the indicated sum of the terms of a sequence. In the case of a finite sequence a₁, a2, a3, ..., an. the corresponding series is



n

a₁, a2, a3 +… + an = an

1

This series has a finite or limited number of terms and is called a finite series. The Greek letter S is the summation sign, whose upper and lower lim­its indicate the values of the variable n over which the sum is calculated; in this case the set of positive integers 1, 2,... N.



In the case of an infinite sequence a1 + a2 + a3 + ... + an =∑ an.

this type of series has an unlimited number of terms end is called an infinite series.

The n-th term, an, of a finite or infinite series is known as the general term. An infinite series can be either a convergent series or a divergent series depending on whether or not it converges to a finite sum. Convergence important characteristic of a series.
