Appendix A

Calculus Theorems

Two References

First books on calculus typically leave a few theorems unproven. If first books on calculus are not sufficiently challenging for you then

  1. Advanced Calculus, 1968, by L. Loomis and S. Sternberg. Revised Edition 1990 from Jones and Bartlett.
  2. Principles of Mathematical Analysis by W. Rudin, McGraw-Hill 1964 (second edition).
may be of interest. These references are not first books on calculus. Most, if not all theorems in these books are proven. I found the first easier to read.

Remember these two books if you concentrate in mathematics, electrical engineering, physics or some other very mathematical discipline at the university or college level. Or remember these references if the next pages are of interest. These references may provide perspectives on mathematics beyond and besides those offered next.

About the Next Appendices

The following pages demonstrate the various kinds of reasoning, direct and indirect, met by college students specializing in mathematics. Since some of the proofs, as written here, are hard or technical, your first objective should be to visit the following appendices to see and survey what can be easily understood. What is not immediately understood can be left for later study or postponed indefinitely. Mastering all the details could be a project for high school or college math and science clubs.

The following appendices state the basic theorems of calculus and give most proofs. In contrast to the initial pages and chapters, the following appendices complement first courses and first books in calculus at the advanced instead of the elementary level. Proofs most likely to found elsewhere are omitted.
