100+1 Problems in Advanced Calculus
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-030-91865-1 (ISBN)
In this work, all the fundamental concepts seen in a first-year Calculus course are covered. Problems touch on topics like inequalities, elementary point-set topology, limits of real-valued functions, differentiation, classical theorems of differential calculus (Rolle, Lagrange, Cauchy, and l'Hospital), graphs of functions, and Riemann integrals and antiderivatives. Every chapter starts with a theoretical background, in which relevant definitions and theorems are provided; then, related problems are presented. Formalism is kept at a minimum, and solutions can be found atthe end of each chapter.
Instructors and students of Mathematical Analysis, Calculus and Advanced Calculus aimed at first-year undergraduates in Mathematics, Physics and Engineering courses can greatly benefit from this book, which can also serve as a rich supplement to any traditional textbook on these subjects as well.
lt;b>Paolo Toni is a Teacher of Mathematics and Physics, retired from Liceo Scientifico E. Fermi in Padua, Italy, with prolific research activities on didactics of mathematics. He obtained a Mathematics degree (1972) from the University of Firenze and authored a few books, beginning with recreational mathematics. For many years, Prof. Toni took an active role in mathematical competitions in his home country, having co-created, directed, and promoted the "Città di Padova" Mathematical Competition, aimed at students of secondary level.
Pier Domenico Lamberti is a Full Professor in Mathematical Analysis at the University of Padua, Italy. He got a PhD in Mathematics from the University of Padua (2003), and has been visiting researcher at the University of Cardiff, UK; University of Athens, Greece; and Complutense University of Madrid, Spain. His research interests lie in mathematical analysis, with focus on partial differential equations, spectral theory, theory of functions spaces, functional analysis, calculus of variations, and homogenization theory.
Giacomo Drago is a Teacher of Mathematics and Physics at Istituto Tecnico Economico Calvi in Padua, Italy. He obtained a Master degree in Mathematics (2011) from the University of Padua, Italy. As a student, he distinguished himself in the national finals of three consecutive editions (2004-2006) of the Kangourou Mathematics Competitions.

"This reviewer warmly welcomes the publication of this nice selection of problems and would recommend its use as a complimentary reading for analysis and calculus courses. ... The book under review nicely complements existing literature on the subject; it is a stimulating reading requiring, as suggested by the authors, a bit of critical reflection." (Svitlana P. Rogovchenko, zbMATH 1494.00003, 2022)
"A sequence of a traditional textbook for an undergraduate calculus course. From this standpoint, this book can be used as a supplement to any conventional calculus text. ... It is well known that students struggle with inducing abstract math concepts to gain insight into behavior in real-world phenomena to understand better those behaviors; including such examples is seen as a potential asset."
