First sentence: 1. AT the commencement of a treatise upon any science, the reader naturally expects to find some brief statement of the nature and object of that science; but in the present instance it is impossible to make such a statement, unless the meaning of certain terms, necessary to be used, be previously explained: for the Differential Calculus, from the very first, involves notions which must be new to one who is acquainted with no more than the common elements of Algebra and Analytic Geometry; and in the following pages we must suppose the reader to have advanced only so far in the study of mathematics.
