The discussion centers around a challenging multivariable calculus course being taken from a teacher known for tough tests but effective teaching. The instructor is highly regarded, with recommendations from other math teachers for engineering students, and offers a letter of recommendation for students who achieve an A in his class. To supplement learning, the student is seeking additional calculus resources beyond the Stewart textbook, expressing interest in "Multivariable Calculus" by Edwards and Penney, despite mixed reviews on Amazon. Another suggested resource is "How to Ace the Rest of Calculus" by Adams and Thompson, which is noted for its readability and focus on fundamental concepts, although it may not cover all necessary material.

This semester I am taking multivariable calculus - studying from the stewart calculus book. Anyways the teacher that I am taking is known for giving ridiculously hard tests and in general his class is really tough, however he gaurantees I will learn more in his math class than I would have taking the same course from another teacher.. in fact math teachers from other schools recommend their engineering students to take him. Also his class must be very challenging because he said he would give a letter of recommendation if anyone can get an A in his class...
Anyways I am trying to find another calc book to read from (along with the stewart book) to get a wider variety of problems that are more difficult than stewarts... Can anyone recommend a book? thank you.
