  • Another participant suggests Schaum's books as a potential resource, noting their affordability.
  • A participant expresses concern that while Schaum's "Calculus" and "Advanced Calculus" are good, they contain many explanations and fewer solved exercises than desired.
  • There is a mention of difficulty finding suitable books in local bookstores, with a participant indicating they may start looking online for options.

Hi everybody,
I am searching for a Calculus book that is focused on exercises and not on theory. I am studying multivariable functions and I need a book with lots of solved exercises. I especially want to focus on the double,triple,surface and line integrals. Any suggestions??
Thanks
 
Physics news on Phys.org
schaum's probably has a book like that. schaum's books are cheap too
 
Thanks for your answer. Schaum's "Calculus" and "Advanced Calculus" seem to me quite good. But you know, many topics are explained in them so there are not many solved exercises. I actually want a book about integrals, methods of integration etc

Thanks for your suggestions devious. I hadn't checked Amazon because I have never bought anything online but I think I will start. They seem to be what I am looking for, and in my country i can't find anything like that in bookstores.(except from "Calculus" by Schaum)

Thanks again for your help
