What are some good textbooks for advanced calculus with challenging exercises?

In summary, advanced calculus is a branch of mathematics that deals with advanced concepts in calculus such as multivariable calculus, vector calculus, and differential equations. It may be difficult to learn for some individuals, but with dedication and practice, anyone can master it. Advanced calculus builds upon regular calculus and has practical applications in fields such as physics, engineering, economics, and statistics. To improve understanding, it is important to have a strong foundation in basic calculus and to practice regularly, seeking help from a tutor or joining a study group can also be beneficial.

Hi nameVoid,

I use 'Engineering Mathematics' and 'Advanced Engineering Mathematics' by K.A. Stroud.

The advanced book gives some pretty good explanations of advanced Calculus including Gradients, Divergence & Curls of Vectors.

Not too sure if the above is of help. Hope so though.

Regards,

Jus
