Vector algebra and analytical geometry textbook
I have a very comprehensive textbook written in portuguese about vector algebra and analytical geometry, but the author didn't include a bibliography at the book's end. What textbooks, in english, contains these syllabus (I'm pasting the list of chapters)?
PS: For some reason the cross product symbol in this textbook is ^, not the X used in notes and books that I've found in english.
In Brazil no author merges calculus and analytical geometry in one textbook, I don't know why most american authors (or is it the publishers?) do.
The textbook has 500+ pages, almost as large as a calculus textbook alone.
