Can you recommend me a good textbook for Calculus III?

AI Thread Summary
For a solid textbook recommendation for Calculus III (Multivariable Calculus) focused on practice problems rather than theory, several options are discussed. While Stewart's textbook is mentioned, it is noted that the final chapter lacks clarity, prompting the search for alternatives. "Calculus" by Larson and Edwards is suggested, with the 8th edition mentioned, though the latest is the 10th. Users appreciate its approach, despite its limitation to three dimensions, which can be generalized. The conversation highlights the importance of having ample practice problems for topics like multiple integrals, jacobians, gradients, and partial derivatives, indicating a preference for textbooks that emphasize problem-solving skills.

I want a good textbook for Calculus III (Multivariable Calculus) that has lots of practice problems and less theoretical problems. The textbook must have lots of practice problems for multiple integrals, finding areas, volumes using multiple integrals, finding jacobians, gradients, partial derivatives, etc. Please tell me the name of the textbook, author, edition, etc.

Wouldn't Stewart work?

Just disregard the final chapter--it's not very well explained.
 
Is there any other good textbook besides Stewart?
 
What have you been using for Calc I & II? Does it not include any multivariable calculus?
 
My Calculus I & II textbook doesn't have Calculus III at all.
 
I like "Calculus" by Larson and Edwards. I have the 8th edition, but they're up to 10 now.
I didn't like how (at least in my edition) they don't go above 3 dimensions, but it's pretty evident how to generalize stuff.

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
This is part 2 of my thread Collection of Free Online Math Books and Lecture Notes Here, we will consider physics and mathematical methods for physics resources. Now, this is a work in progress. Please feel free comment regarding items you want to be included, or if a link is broken etc. Note: I will not post links to other collections, each link will point you to a single item. :book:📚📒 [FONT=trebuchet ms]Introductory college/university physics College Physics, Openstax...
