Summary
Limit-based computations utilize infinitesimals, simplifying computations and making a wider variety of limits accessible. Definitions of double integrals, triple integrals, line integrals, and surface integrals, as well as related geometric and physical applications, are based on infinitely many subintervals (or subregions) of infinitesimal size, resulting more clearly in a sum and simplifying definitions. Local linearity is captured in an easily understood approximation formula, demystifying the use of straight objects instead of curved objects when developing integration formulas. Throughout the text, abundant use of diagrams aids the development of visual intuition and understanding. Exercise sets provide ample practice, ranging from the simple to the straightforward to the more interesting and exploratory, appropriate for a wide range of abilities. Notes in the margins include comments meant to supplement understanding, including line-by-line commentary for many worked examples.
For the benefit of readers with no prior experience with infinitesimals, a review chapter is also included with a full explanation of infinitesimals, approximation, and single-variable calculus using these methods, setting the stage for their use in multivariable calculus. Without sacrificing academic rigor, Multivariable Calculus Set Free offers an engaging, storytelling style that helps readers solidify their understanding of an otherwise difficult subject, written by an author with over three decades of experience working with calculus students.
