Emre Sermutlu graduated from Middle East Technical University Physics and Mathematics (Double
Major) programs and then finished his Ph.D. in Bilkent Mathematics department. He has several
decades of experience in teaching mathematics and physics to science and engineering students in
Çankaya University.
This book is written with the student in mind, not a professional mathematician. A calculus
student needs to solve a variety of problems to gain competency, yet usually, do not know where
and how to begin.
The material in each chapter can (and should) be finished in one week. There is a sufficient number
of problems with solutions. The explanations are as short as possible, but not shorter. The exercises
are ordered from easy to difficult. While the number of questions is not very large, almost every trick
of the trade is covered by one of them.
