Hi I am studying engineering, as you know the maximum level of calculus reached in engineering is Multivariable Calculus and some vectorial calculus (Im not including courses like Differential Equations or others where there is also applied calculus) so i plan to self study more advanced calculus with the support of a tutor. The question is (with mi actual Knowledges of calculus and mathematics ) can anyone recommend me a good calculus book to continue?

Thanks
