I met Tom Apostol once back in the early 1980s at CSULB when I was in grad school. One of my math professors knew Apostol and invited him to give a lecture on Analytic Number Theory. Something I knew nothing about and still don't. I went to the lecture just to be there. Got to meet and talk to him afterwards.

Wow !!

Apostol and Feynman were contemporaries, and both taught introductory courses at Caltech around that time (ca 1960 give or take.) This is an interesting insight into what it was like to be at that school at that time. The picturing of it is interesting. To be a fly on the wall. Yeah go ahead and smell the binding. :^)

Although Apostol book is classic and regularly used as reference with rudin , both doesn't give explanation when something needs to do. Possibly since they written sometime before 1970s that's the way they go around that time. I would prefer book like Robert Strichartz The Way Of Analysis as initial beginner friendly yet has theorems that been in rudin or apostol. Reviewing that book is good since I feel like studying along that book covers much of short book of rudin or lengthy one of apostol.

I always love your review of mathematical book reviews --- thank you!

I greedily guard my Apostol books. His work with The Mechanical Universe television series and the MU text got me interested in Mathematics.

I'm currently working on apostol cal.1 but i liked it so much that I would also go for his cal2 and mathematical analysis.

I have this one as well. It was helpful in understanding winding numbers when I was preparing for my qualifying presentation for my PhD. The calculus book by Courant was also useful and easier to read than Apostol.

"this math book has been damaged..." Literally the most perfect condition Tom Apostol textbook I've ever seen. Probably worth like 500 dollars.

I used this Apostol book for my second year Analysis Couse for for my Bsc(Hons) Mathematics degree in the UK in the early 1980s. It is one of the books I still have and survived my ex wife who wanted to take all my old college books to a second hand book shop. My copy is a blue paperback. As paperbacks get damaged much more easily it is in a much less good condition than yours. I found it quite terse as well. I also used Dellillo Advanced Calculus with Applications for that course.

I remember when I bought the first copy (Calculus, vol1) -- in 1999-- red Wiley soft cover-- It was written dedicated to Jane and Stephen! Much later (two years later) I came to know about this book.

We used the Apostol text for Mathematical Analysis in graduate school. It was intimidating at first but thankfully we had a professor who was an outstanding communicator.

I think it would be easier to visualize what it's actually happening if you would put a matrix, then one order of the series is column sum and the other order is row sum.

I think that's an understatement: visualising it in that way makes it completely trivial as well as easy to remember: |0|-|0|0|0... |+|0|-|0|0|.. |0|+|0|-|0|... |0|0|+|0|-|... ... etc, (using a non-proportional font or a better artist)

Oooh yesterday I found this book at my uni library! World Student Series edition, second printing (1965). Definitely going to work through it over the next couple months.

This brought back memories. I bought my copy of this book in 1970.

Though I’ve never seen double summation ever before. I understood your explanation. I feel very happy. 😊

So I thought I would follow along with my second edition from September 73. There has been a good amount of changes. It looks like a lot of the elementary vector calculus went elsewhere; the total page count is smaller at 492. The “repeated series” is now called “integrated series” and the “important case” must no longer be important as it has disappeared completely.

Great stuff

Yup Tom Apostol Calculus is very very popular. He does have a two volumes book that covers a lot of Calculus. Well written book no doubt.

Great vid as always

When I took calculus, our professor used his book. I found it a little bit hard because I went to a rural high school and I had never seen anything like that before. He begins the book with integral calculus and uses the method of exhaustion known to the Greeks to essentially compute the Riemann integral of a function.

Ahh, the good old days, when an author could assume that anyone interested in reading his book could figure out a lot of things on his own.

Thank you for such a good book :)

Please review Apostol's two volume Calculus books. They are my favorite Calculus books.

Bedbugs with fierce stingers who like mathematics.

I saw it explains Cesaro Summability (3:18) which is quite unexpected for the introductory level.

Draw a grid with values of m as columns and values of n as rows, and fill in the squares with -1, 1 and 0 appropriately, the reason the two sums are not equal then becomes apparent. I should note that almost the exact same idea appears in an exercise in Donald Knuth's Concrete Mathematics (Exercise 2.28 to be exact)

Nice explanation and problem working! Can I know when your udemy courses would be on discount? Last time I only subscribed to one calculus course and was in discount.. Thank you

If this is a book that contained a dust jacket it is possible someone tried to ensure it stays on by using staples or something similar.

Yo quiero comprar este libro. Pero no lo encuentro en pasta dura :( Ojalá en el futuro puedan sacar más versiones en hardcover.

Best analysis book ever written!

At 12:17 you have the series where m=3 but it looks like you wrote f(3,2) = -1 and f(3,4) =1. Shouldn't fI3,2)=1 and f(3,4)= -1 so you ended up with the correct sum of 0 but individual values were reversed. You said f(3,2) is 1 and f(3,4) is -1 but then wrote the incorrect values. Please correct me if I am wrong. Sorry for being picky. Thanks looks like a good book.

One wonders why Galilean relative motion is such a difficult subject. D=1/2at^2 describes the ‘motion ‘ of the released object or the ‘motion ‘ of the earth towards the released- and now stationary- object. Only 50% “ chance “ one or the other is correct. Any accelerometer- slinky, water balloon or phone app- proves the earth is expanding at 16 feet per second per second constant acceleration. Yet such exceeds the modern brain’s ability. Gravity right there in all it’s glory.

Cool, I knew about Tom Apostol’s calculus texts (for years known at Caltech as “Tommy 1” and “Tommy 2”) but didn’t know he also wrote a more advanced text on mathematical analysis. Incidentally, the “t” in “Apostol” is silent, so it’s pronounced like the English word “apostle” (which of course also has a silent “t”). You can hear the pronunciation near the start of this video from 2013: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aJ2huLxwn8rWcag.html
