Abstract
To the student reading natural science as his main object, this book will have a definite appeal. A considerable number of well-chosen examples of the use of the derivative in hydrostatics and in pumping machines is an unusual feature. The authors state that, in the earlier part of the book at least, they purposely reject the delta notation, with the object of making the transition from conventional algebra easier for the average reader. This seems a somewhat needless scruple, for it only means greater difficulty at a later stage when the methods of the operator calculus have to be mastered: in these days this branch of the subject is finding new applications.
