Integral Calculus for Beginners

Description

The present volume is intended to form a sound introduction to a study of the Integral Calculus, suitable for a student beginning the subject. Like its companion, the Differential Calculus for Beginners, it does not therefore aim at completeness, but rather at the omission of all portions of the subject which are usually regarded as best left for a later reading.

It will be found, however, that the ordinary processes of integration are fully treated, as also the principal methods of Rectification and Quadrature, and the calculation of the volumes and surfaces of solids of revolution. Some indication is also afforded to the student of other useful applications of the Integral Calculus, such as the general method to be employed in obtaining the position of a Centroid, or the value of a Moment of Inertia.
