Supplement to Advanced Calculus

[romerito]

Hello, Things have gone pretty well, I changed my major to math (used to be physics) and I am starting third semester in 10 days. Ill be taking Linear Algebra 2, Abstract Algebra 1 and Multivariable Calculus, plus 2 courses in Literature and one on Nietzsche and Foucault.
So, I am studyng Mike Artins book on Algebra (course uses Fraleight I think) and for LA I hope what I get from Artin is enough (course uses Friedberg et al), since the bulk of the work this semester will be coming from Calc 3, for the theoretical stuff I am going with Loomis & Stenberg Advanced Calculus, which i already started working, I had heard it was a really dry and not so friendly book, but right now Ill thorughly recommended it to anyone wanting to learn some good analysis, the authors really try hard in teaching the topic. Anyway, of course the course doenst require me to learn from this book, its just the common Calc 3 which uses Stewart, so Ill be needing an intuitive book on the subject too, since I already checked the course webpage and I can't do most of the exercises (make that none) So the question will be, what will you recommend to complement Loomis Stenberg? Or any book you want to throw in the mix will be great. Thanks

! I would recommend supplementing your Loomis and Stenberg book with a book like Calculus: Early Transcendentals by James Stewart. This book is more intuitive and accessible than the Loomis and Stenberg book, and will help you understand the basic concepts of calculus. It also contains a wealth of examples and exercises that you can use to check your understanding of the material. Additionally, if you're looking for more advanced topics, it has a chapter on multivariable calculus, which is a great way to get introduced to the material.
