In summary, Calculus is a branch of mathematics that deals with continuous change and motion. TEOREMA 2, also known as Theorem 2, is a fundamental concept in Calculus that states the relationship between the derivative and integral of a function. John Adams is the author of the popular Calculus textbook, the 6th edition of which contains a typo in the statement of TEOREMA 2. The error was discovered through rigorous review and analysis by mathematicians and readers of the textbook.

Hi, PF

I've got the spanish sixth edition of "Calculus", by Robert A. Adams. When it comes to introduce the exponential function properties, calls it "TEOREMA 2", but could it be a typo?. Just a page before, there is another TEOREMA 2: Natural logarithm properties.

Greetings

Sorry for posting so quickly and badly: I've had access to the 7th edition in English: it's the Theorem 3; it's a typo:
