CALCULUS SUPPLEMENT (CLASSIC REPRINT)

Excerpt from Calculus SupplementVariable quantities fall into three fairly distinct classes, namely (a) Quantities which vary in time, (b) quantities which vary in space, and (c) quantities which are arbitrarily assumed to vary. An example of the first class is the varying temperature of the air at a given place as the seasons come and go.
