SummaryTable of Contents
Appropriate for sophomore-level courses in Multivariable Calculus. A traditional and accessible calculus text with a strong conceptual and geometric slant that assumes a background in single-variable calculus. The text uses the language and notation of vectors and matrices to clarify issues in multivariable calculus. It is designed to provide a greater challenge than the multivariable material typically found in the last four or five chapters of a three-semester calculus text. This challenge is balanced by clear and expansive writing and an interesting selection of material.
