Any good Calculus III books that comes with explanations?

I am using Stewart's textbook right now and it is horrible. I really wonder how my other classmates get their work done, I feel like I have more trouble than them. Weird thing is, most of them don't even pay attention in class.

Anyways, are there any books that give Calc III exercises and give step by step solutions? Stewart's book and solution manual doesn't give even number solutions for some reason (what a rip off $60). My prof is like terrible explaining stuff, so I am kinda screwed.

I also have tried Mathematical Methods by Wiley, but they don't have enough exercises

What is Calculus III?
(ie, is there a specific syllabus?)

Oh sorry, Multivariable Calculus

Syllabus includes Vectors and Geometry, Vector Valued functions, Multivariable calculus, multiple integrals.

My university uses Thomas' Calculus w/ Early Trancendentals for all three physics courses. I've only taken Calc I with the book and it helped me greatly; I'm taking Calc II this semester with the book. A new edition (12/e) was just released, but I haven't looked at its content. Calculus 6/e by Edwards and Penney is pretty rigorous from what I've read. The recent mathwonk praised the textbooks from Edwards and Penney (maybe because they teach in the same department).

Good luck finding a book that suits your needs!

I have come across many textbooks and resources for Calculus III. I understand your frustration with Stewart's textbook and the lack of explanations in the solution manual. In my experience, one of the best books for Calculus III is "Multivariable Calculus" by James Stewart. This book provides clear explanations and a wide range of exercises with step-by-step solutions. It also includes a companion website with additional resources and practice problems.

Another great option is "Calculus: Early Transcendentals" by Howard Anton. This book covers all the topics in Calculus III and provides detailed explanations and examples. It also has a variety of exercises with solutions available online.

If you prefer a more visual approach, I would recommend "Calculus III for Dummies" by Mark Zegarelli. This book breaks down complex concepts into easy-to-understand explanations and includes plenty of practice problems with detailed solutions.

In addition to these textbooks, I also suggest utilizing online resources such as Khan Academy or MIT OpenCourseWare for additional practice and explanations. And don't forget, your classmates may have different learning styles and may not be struggling as much as you think. Don't be afraid to reach out to your professor or classmates for help and clarification. With the right resources and determination, I am confident you will excel in Calculus III.
