Publisher's Synopsis
In order to reach conclusions and prove theorems, mathematicians rely upon a form of analysis that allows approximations for integrals, infinite sums, and solutions of differential equations; these approximations are expressed in terms of inequalities. This text addresses a difficult subject - one that is usually treated only in works for advanced students - at a level appropriate for undergraduates and even high school students, offering a background on inequalities that will prepare students to cope with the concepts of continuity, derivative, and integral.
