Hi, i have just finished self-studying spivak calculus and have thoroughtly enjoyed reading it and doing the problems.
I am looking to find a book on vector calculus with similar rigor as that of spivak.
Any recommendations?

I have heard Hubbards book on vector calculus is not bad. Any comments?

Thanks in advance.

How about Apostol, vol. 2?

Thanks for replying.

I think Apostol's book seems good; but it includes linear algebra, so i was wondering if there is any linear algebra requirements before reading it.

As for courant's, its about 1000 pages which i find too long.

Thannks anyway.

You might also consider Spivak's calculus on manifolds; that one is only about 150 pages!
