SynopsisUsing a dual presentation that is rigorous and comprehensive-yetexceptionaly reader-friendly in approach-this book covers most of the standard topics in multivariate calculus and an introduction to linear algebra. It focuses in underlying ideas, integrates theory and applications, offers a host of learning aids, features coverage of differential forms, and emphasizes numerical methods that highlight modern applications of mathematics. The revised and expanded content of this edition includes new discussions of functions; complex numbers; closure, interior, and boundary; orientation; forms restricted to vector spaces; expanded discussions of subsets and subspaces of R^n ; probability, change of basis matrix; and more. For individuals interested in the fields of mathematics, engineering, and science-and looking for a unified approach and better understanding of vector calculus, linear algebra, and differential forms., For an undergraduate course in Vector or Multivariable Calculus for math, engineering, and science majors. Using a dual presentation that is rigorous and comprehensive yet exceptionally student-friendly in approach this text covers most of the standard topics in multivariate calculus and part of a standard first course in linear algebra. It focuses in underlying ideas, integrates theory and applications, offers a host of pedagogical aids, features coverage of differential forms and emphasizes numerical methods to prepare students for modern applications of mathematics., This text covers most of the standard topics in multivariate calculus and a substantial part of a standard first course in linear algebra. Appendix material on harder proofs and programs allows the book to be used as a text for a course in analysis. The organization and selection of material present
