Advanced Calculus is usable in physics?

[Andreol263]

I was searching in amazon, where i found a book which have very good comments about him, called Loomis & Sternberg's Advanced Calculus, I'm already reading this book, and from what i seen, i liked :), this book will help me in physics, or will be desnecessary, that basic calculus is good??, and in the comments I've seen that this is like a brief introduction to real analysis and some of differential geometry, what you guys think?

If you're going to study physics, you're going to need advanced calculus.

The books formalism is probably unnecessary for most. That said if you enjoy reading it, go for it.

Skimming through the contents I'd say it's probably overly mathematical for general purposes. Once you have a solid grasp on the computational aspects of calculus (single, multivariable and vector), and some background in matrix algebra and differential equations it might be a somewhat enlightening read to understand thing from a more formal viewpoint.

It will not be necessary for most fields of physics. But if you're thinking of going into something very theoretical, it might be useful.
