Features: The "College Mathematics" series is a national-level planning textbook for general higher education under the "15th Five-Year Plan." It was developed by drawing on the achievements of the reform and practice of mathematics courses for non-mathematics majors in science and engineering disciplines under the "Reform Plan for Teaching Content and Curriculum Systems of Higher Education Towards the 21st Century," as well as by learning from the experience of similar textbooks abroad. This series aims to strengthen fundamentals, emphasize applications, optimize holistically, and focus on long-term effects. It has the following characteristics:
1. In terms of content, it unifies classic and modern elements;
2. In terms of selection, it adheres to the unity of scientificity, systematicity, and feasibility;
3. In terms of teaching, it strives to unify the transmission of mathematical knowledge with the cultivation of mathematical literacy.
The textbook is rich in content, with some sections marked with an asterisk () to facilitate tiered teaching or learning according to the needs of teachers or readers. The exercises in the book are divided into two categories: (A) and (B):
- Category (A) consists of problems that reflect the basic teaching requirements and provide materials for mathematics experiment courses;
- Category (B) consists of problems that enhance, expand, and have certain comprehensive application properties.
This series is divided into four volumes: "Calculus (Upper and Lower)," "Linear Algebra," and "Random Mathematics." This book is the "Lower Volume of Calculus," covering topics such as infinite series, ordinary differential equations, and an introduction to field theory. It is suitable for students of non-mathematics majors in science and engineering disciplines at general higher education institutions, as well as for reference by engineering technicians.
