Extract

My desire is to emphasize the importance and simplicity of the notion of “differentials” in introducing a student to the calculus. I find that pupils have but little difficulty in realizing the ideas connected with them, and that the notion of a differential coefficient as the ultimate value of the ratio of two connected differentials comes automatically.
