My original message asked if anyone was aware of an
introductory/intermediate calculus text with a statistical
slant.
Something in the dim recesses of memory suggested the
existence of such a thing. However, we all know how
reliable memory can be!
Suggestions received were:
James Stewart, Calculus: single and multivariable.
Ken Stroud, Engineering Mathematics.
G. Stephenson, Mathematical Methods for Science Students.
Andre Khuri, Advanced Calculus with Applications in
Statistics.
David Widder, Advanced Calculus.
Baxter and Sloyer, Calculus with probability for the life
and management sciences.
Walpole and Myers, Probability and Statistics for Engineers.
I haven't been able to review these, apart from Stroud and
Stephenson. The latter appears to be a good candidate,
having no overt subject matter bias and a full chapter
devoted to the gamma function.
Thanks to Jonathan Cooke, Miland Joshi, Roger Newson and
Isaac Dialsingh for their suggestions.
