Vector Calculus


Looking for supplemental material.
This is the textbook I am supposed to use.

(http://www.amazon.ca/Calculus-Comple...2014963&sr=8-1)

The syllabus is: Vector fields; vector calculus; ordinary differential equations; sequences, series, and power series.

in the old days everyone agreed the best book was by williamson, crowell and trotter. I myself liked and learned from the book by wendell fleming.

Vector Calculus by Susan Jane Colley is what my school is using for our vector calculus course intended for mathematics majors. To be honest I didn't even purchase the book for that course, but from other students who had a bit of trouble with calculus I've heard it's quite good :)

There is a free text here. I haven't used it, though.

If you want hardcore supplemental, there is "Advanced Calculus" by Loomis and Sternberg. Available here:

I wouldn't really recommend it until after your vector course, though.

In my honours vector calc. course we used Marsden & Tromba. I would recommend it if you are looking for a deeper perspective than in Adams.

I ended up ordering Marsden & Tromba. I am assuming there will be a HUGE difference in rigorousness.
