Differential Calculus for Engineers

This book gives many helps for students of technical colleges who have had usual mathematical training. The material presented in this book exceeds the content of the spoken lessons, and so, it is also useful for other engineering specialities and even for students in mathematics.

The authors present in a small number of pages the basic notions and results of differential calculus concerning to: sequences and series of numbers, sequences and series of functions, power series, elements of topology in n-dimensional space, limits of functions, continuous functions, partial derivatives of functions of several variables, Taylor's formula, extrema of a function of several variables (free or with constrains), change of variables, dependent functions.

Provides the engineering disciplines with necessary information of differential calculus of functions Helps students or researchers in technical faculties and those starting a mathematical course Gives many helps for students of technical colleges
