Multi-Variable Calculus A First Step

The book is a comprehensive yet compressed entry-level introduction on single variable calculus, focusing on the concepts and applications of limits, continuity, derivative, defi nite integral, series, sequences and approximations. Chapters are arranged to outline the essence of each topic and to address learning diffi culties, making it suitable for students and lecturers in mathematics, physics and engineering. Contents Prerequisites for calculus Limits and continuity The derivative Applications of the derivative The definite integral Techniques for integration and improper integrals Applications of the definite integral Infinite series, sequences, and approximations Fractional calculus is a rapidly growing field of research, at the interface between probability, differential equations, and mathematical physics. It is used to model anomalous diffusion, in which a cloud of particles spreads in a different manner than traditional diffusion. This monograph develops the basic theory of fractional calculus and anomalous diffusion, from the point of view of probability. In this book, we will see how fractional calculus and anomalous diffusion can be understood at a deep and intuitive level, using ideas from probability. It covers basic limit theorems for random variables and random vectors with heavy tails. This includes regular variation, triangular arrays, infinitely divisible laws, random walks, and stochastic process convergence in the Skorokhod topology. The basic ideas of fractional calculus and anomalous diffusion are closely connected with heavy tail limit theorems. Heavy tails are applied in finance, insurance, physics, geophysics, cell biology, ecology, medicine, and computer engineering. The goal of this book is to prepare graduate students in probability for research in the area of fractional calculus, anomalous diffusion, and heavy tails. Many interesting problems in this area remain open. This book will guide the motivated reader to understand the essential background needed to read and unerstand current research papers, and to gain the insights and techniques needed to begin making their own contributions to this rapidly growing field. The series is devoted to the publication of high-level monographs which cover progresses in fractional calculus research in mathematics and applications in physics, mechanics, engineering and biology etc. Methodological aspects e.g., theory, modeling and computational methods are presented from mathematical point of view, and emphases are placed in computer simulation, analysis, design and control of application-oriented issues in various scientific disciplines. It is designed for mathematicians, and researchers using fractional calculus as a tool in the field of physics, mechanics, engineering and biology. Contributions which are interdisciplinary and which stimulate further research at the crossroads of sciences and engineering are particularly welcomed.
