Advanced Calculus - Taylor errors

AI Thread Summary
There is a lack of available errata for "Advanced Calculus" by Taylor & Mann, as the book is quite old and both authors have passed away. Google searches yield no results for corrections, indicating that a compiled list may not exist. Contacting the publisher, Wiley, is suggested as a potential avenue for finding any recorded errors. It is recommended to approach the publisher politely to inquire about possible errata. Overall, the chances of finding a comprehensive list of corrections appear slim.

This might be a weird quest and in the wrong section but does anyone know of a list with errors and corrections for the book "Advanced Calculus" by Taylor & Mann 3rd ed?

Thanks

Since the text is 29 years old, both the authors died a number of years ago and Google searches for
errata "Advanced Calculus" Taylor Mann
turn up nothing likely I'm thinking your chances are not good.

You might contact the publisher,

be really really REALLY polite and see if you can convince them to take a few minutes of their time to see if they have any record of an errata.
 
i thought since the book is so popular somebody has compiled a list of errata and corrections, at least by professors at universities where the book is a course text...

Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'

Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
