Excerpt from The Calculus for Engineers
This book describes what has for many years been the most important part of the regular course in the Calculus for Mechanical and Electrical Engineering students at the Finsbury Technical College. It was supplemented by easy work involving Fourier, Spherical Harmonic, and Bessel Functions which I have been afraid to describe here because the book is already much larger than I thought it would become.
The students in October knew only the most elementary mathematics, many of them did not know the Binomial Theorem, or the definition of the sine of an angle. In July they had not only done the work of this book, but their knowledge was of a practical kind, ready for use in any such engineering problems as I give here.
One such student, Mr. Norman Endacott, has corrected the manuscript and proofs. He has worked out many of the exercises in the third chapter twice over. I thank him here for the care he has taken, and I take leave also to say that a system which has, year by year, produced many men with his kind of knowledge of mathematics has a good deal to recommend it. I say this through no vanity but because I wish to encourage the earnest student.
