    Apostol volume 1 calc? what do I need

    I'll look over the telescoping series and read over that section again later. yeah I knew that integral but on that page it just appears with that inequality. he doesn't develop n^3/3 it just appears at that moment. I think I understand the rest of the proof though. I just was confused about...

    Hi, I'm curious in learning calculus again but through a more rigorous fashion than plug and chug that I did last year. I'm trying to go slowly through Apostol's calculus but the way he's deriving the integral for a parabolic function x^2 is kinda troubling me. I'm fine until he reaches...
