Summary:

With a "less is more" approach to building upon the basic foundations of calculus, this sequence of 5 books introduces the reader to the topics commonly found in a 2nd semester/2nd year level of college-level calculus. They cover in greater detail the methods of integration and the uses of both the integral and differential equations in common problems encountered in most STEM curricula.
