Vector calculus book recommendations

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around recommendations for a rigorous vector calculus book following the completion of Spivak's calculus. Suggestions include Hubbard's book, which received positive comments, and Apostol's volume 2, although there are concerns about its inclusion of linear algebra and whether prior knowledge is necessary. Courant's text is noted for its length, which some find off-putting. Additionally, Spivak's "Calculus on Manifolds" is mentioned as a concise alternative, being only 150 pages long.

Hi, i have just finished self-studying spivak calculus and have thoroughtly enjoyed reading it and doing the problems.
I am looking to find a book on vector calculus with similar rigor as that of spivak.
Any recommendations?

I have heard Hubbards book on vector calculus is not bad. Any comments?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for replying.

I think Apostol's book seems good; but it includes linear algebra, so i was wondering if there is any linear algebra requirements before reading it.

As for courant's, its about 1000 pages which i find too long.

Thannks anyway.
 
You might also consider Spivak's calculus on manifolds; that one is only about 150 pages!

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
