Hi everybody.
I'm currently taking Calculus III with applications, and the book they gave us was Multivariable Calculus by Ron Larson. I wanted to Calc III, which is more pure math as opposed to the class I'm in that's mostly for engineers (theres a third class oriented even more for applications, but that was ruled out), but it conflicted with my physics class, which obviously has priority. I was wondering If this textbook is any good or should I look for another textbook more oriented towards physicists and pure math? I'm not exactly sure what audience the textbook was written for (applied vs. pure).
