Description and Table of Contents
Description
Aimed primarily at higher-level undergraduates, this book seeks to provide a deeper understanding of multivariate calculus and geometry, which will enable the reader to appreciate the uses and limitations of multivariate analysis when applying them to new problems. It provides a description of the basic concepts, via familiar explanations, which are then tested in technically demanding examples. The author assumes a minimal amount of prerequisite knowledge.
