im trying to read calculus on manifolds by michael spivak and am having a tough time with it. if anyone could recommend a more accessible book (perhaps one with solved problems) id really appreciate it.
"Supplement for spivak's calculus on manifolds" is an additional resource that accompanies Michael Spivak's book, "Calculus on Manifolds." It provides further explanations, examples, and exercises to enhance the understanding of the topics covered in the book.
No, the supplement is not necessary if you have the book. However, it can be helpful in providing additional practice and explanations for the concepts covered in "Calculus on Manifolds."
The supplement is primarily intended for students and readers who are using "Calculus on Manifolds" as a textbook or reference for studying the subject. It can also be useful for instructors looking for additional resources for their students.
Yes, the supplement assumes that the reader has a basic understanding of calculus, linear algebra, and multivariable calculus. It is recommended to have prior knowledge of these subjects before using the supplement.
No, the supplement is meant to be used as a companion to "Calculus on Manifolds." It does not cover all the topics in depth and may not provide enough background information for someone who is new to the subject. It is best used in conjunction with the main textbook for a more comprehensive understanding of calculus on manifolds.
