Seán Dineen : Analysis - A Gateway to Understanding Mathematics

This book, based on a course for students of Economics and Finance, is an efficient and rigorous introduction to the differential and integral calculus. It shows readers how to approach and understand mathematics and provides, by its analysis of fundamental concepts, a firm foundation for those who aspire to a career in any area that uses mathematics regularly (for example, statistics, operations research, physics, computer science and engineering). Experience shows that this approach, which treats understanding on a par with technical ability, confers permanent benefits. Book jacket.
