Book on multivariable calculus/vector calculus, (cheap-ish)

AI Thread Summary
A high school student is seeking recommendations for a multivariable/vector calculus book, expressing concern over high prices on Amazon, particularly for international shipping to Ireland. One participant suggests Larson's book, noting its popularity and affordability in Mexico compared to its high price on Amazon. Another participant recommends checking local options, like visiting a nearby city for better prices or exploring alternative online retailers such as AbeBooks for more affordable options.

Right, high school student here, I may want a book on multivariable/vector calculus soon and I was wondering if you have any suggestions..

I like the look of https://www.amazon.com/dp/0130414085/?tag=pfamazon01-20 but regrettably it seems to expensive for me..
Bear in mind that I live in Ireland, in a rural area so all books will have to be ordered through the internet, probably through http://www.amazon.com"...

Your help would be appreciated..

Unfortunately, Amazon prices are targeted at the US market, where the prices are substabtially higher than in toher less developed countries.

I learned multivariable calculus with Larson's book, but its listed price is 128 dollars on Amazon.com. In Mexico I got it for ~20 dollars =).

It is very famous, so the price of getting to the closest city and buying it may be better than ordering it off amazon.
 
TL;DR Summary: Book after Sakurai Modern Quantum Physics I am doing a comprehensive reading of sakurai and I have solved every problem from chapters I finished on my own, I will finish the book within 2 weeks and I want to delve into qft and other particle physics related topics, not from summaries but comprehensive books, I will start a graduate program related to cern in 3 months, I alreadily knew some qft but now I want to do it, hence do a good book with good problems in it first...
TLDR: is Blennow "Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering" a good follow-up to Altland "Mathematics for physicists"? Hello everybody, returning to physics after 30-something years, I felt the need to brush up my maths first. It took me 6 months and I'm currently more than half way through the Altland "Mathematics for physicists" book, covering the math for undergraduate studies at the right level of sophystication, most of which I howewer already knew (being an aerospace engineer)...
