This proofreads the Calculus 101 part (the first unchecked box in #315), covering the five chapters under tex/calculus/: limits.tex, p-adic.tex, differentiate.tex, taylor.tex, integrate.tex.

All findings were minor (typos, grammar, and small index slips). No large mathematical errors were found.

limits.tex

  • Comma splice "…already been done, / For example" → period.
  • "if $S$ has not bounded above/below" → "is not bounded".
  • Malformed prototype sum \sum_{k \ge 1}^\infty\sum_{k=1}^\infty.
  • "you can use essentially copy its proof" → drop stray "use".
  • "where in general we stuck on the decimal representation" → "tack".
  • "the last fourth condition" → "the last condition".
  • Index typo in the alternating series test solution: (a_{N-2} - a_{N+1})(a_{N-2} - a_{N-1}).

p-adic.tex

  • "close on the number of line" → "number line".
  • "$\QQ_p$ and $\ZZ_p$ becomes a metric space" → "become metric spaces".
  • "Last post we proved" → "Earlier we proved" (leftover blog phrasing).
  • Skolem–Mahler–Lech proof: "Fix any $0 \le r &lt; N$" used an undefined $N$ → "$< T$".
  • Mahler-form expansion of $(\id+pB)^n$: summation terms were indexed by $n$ instead of the summation variable $k$ (p^n, B^n, a_np^k, B^k, a_k).
  • "Strassman's theorem" → "Strassmann's" (matches the earlier spelling in the same chapter).

differentiate.tex

  • "as a function it its own right" → "in its own right".
  • Duplicated "then then" in the sum and product rule statements.
  • Singular "local extrema" → "local extremum" (3 spots).
  • "manually check all cases outside $Z$" → "outside $S$" (the interior; boundary points lie in $Z\setminus S$).
  • "The one is simple" → "The first one is simple".
  • Stray word: "it lets you relate use derivative information…" → drop "relate".
  • Extra comma in "secant joining $(a,f(a))$, to $(b,f(b))$".
  • "which we'll grow more next time" → "which we'll see more of next time".

taylor.tex

  • "It terms out" → "It turns out".
  • Stray period inside the radius-of-convergence display before "with the convention".
  • "$p(x) = x^3+7x+9$" → "$P(x)$" to match the surrounding text.

integrate.tex

  • "This difference is that…" → "The difference is that…".
  • "a typical a rectangle function" → drop extra "a".
  • "What we have done is taking … and showed" → "is take … and show".
  • "a point $\xi_i$ in the $n$th interval" → "$i$th interval".
  • "As in the proof \Cref{…}" → "As in the proof of \Cref{…}".
  • "the meshes … approaches zero" → "approach zero".

Fix typos, grammar, and small index errors across the five chapters of
the Calculus 101 part:

- limits: comma splice, "has not bounded" -> "is not bounded", malformed
  \sum bound in prototype, "stuck"->"tack", "last fourth"->"last", and an
  index typo a_{N+1} -> a_{N-1} in the alternating series test solution.
- p-adic: "number of line", "becomes"->"become", "Last post"->"Earlier",
  undefined N -> T in Skolem-Mahler-Lech, summation index n->k in the
  Mahler-form expansion, and "Strassman"->"Strassmann" spelling.
- differentiate: "it its own right", duplicated "then then", singular
  "local extremum", "outside Z"->"outside S", stray "relate", comma and
  phrasing fixes.
- taylor: "terms out"->"turns out", stray period in radius formula,
  p(x)->P(x) consistency.
- integrate: "This difference"->"The difference", "a typical a", verb
  agreement, $n$th->$i$th interval, missing "of", "approaches"->"approach".
