Do any of you know of excellent advanced multivariable calculus textbooks? If so please list them. (Don't mention James Stewart)
Thanks

In addition to that, do any of you know of excellent advanced multivariable calculus textbooks? If so please list them. (Don't mention James Stewart)
Thanks
Nusc said:HungryChemist, 4th or 5th edition (Tromba) and which one causes with the solutions manual?
Would you please speculate the difference between courses in advanced calculus (multivariable/vector) and watered down multivariable and vector calculus? Then speculate the difference between the textbooks used for these courses, I am already familiar with James Stewart's text.
Thanks
This is overkill. A minimum is knowledge of linear algebra (like the back of your hand) and undergraduate real analysis. An exposure to complex variables adds to the experience. I don't see any need in the text for pre-knowledge of topology, though a basic knowledge is nice.Nusc said:In the last review Kishan Yerubandi says, "Minimal preparation for approaching Spivak would be at least a year of Graduate real analysis (lebesgue integration and differential forms). Also, a mastery of undergraduate linear algebra is crucial; and some topology is beneficial."

Nusc said:What textbook would be best to learn from an advanced calculus text as an undergraduate student? Or are most of these textbooks written in such a way that it makes a great reference to graduates but hard to learn from as an undergraduate? If the later is the case, then what provides the stepping stone?
Multivariable Calculus is a branch of mathematics that deals with the study of functions of several variables. It extends the concepts of single-variable calculus to functions with multiple independent variables, allowing for the analysis of complex systems and phenomena.
The main topics covered in Multivariable Calculus include functions of multiple variables, partial derivatives, multiple integrals, vector fields, line integrals, surface integrals, and the theorems of Green, Stokes, and Gauss.
Multivariable Calculus is important because it provides powerful tools and techniques for understanding and solving problems in various fields such as physics, engineering, economics, and computer science. It also lays the foundation for more advanced mathematical concepts and is essential for further studies in applied mathematics.
Multivariable Calculus has numerous real-world applications, including optimization problems in economics and engineering, modeling and analyzing physical systems, determining the volume and surface area of complex objects, and analyzing the flow of fluids and gases.
Some tips for mastering Multivariable Calculus include practicing regularly, seeking help from tutors or professors when needed, understanding the fundamental concepts and their applications, and working on a variety of problems to gain a deeper understanding of the subject.
