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.
 

Thread '"WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians'

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
