SUMMARY

This discussion centers on finding additional resources for challenging multivariable calculus problems, particularly for students studying from the Stewart Calculus textbook. The participant is enrolled in a rigorous course taught by a highly regarded instructor, known for his difficult tests and valuable recommendations. They suggest "Multivariable Calculus" by Edwards and Penney as a preferred alternative, despite mixed reviews on Amazon. Additionally, "How to Ace the Rest of Calculus" by Adams and Thompson is recommended for its approachable style, although it does not cover all necessary topics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of multivariable calculus concepts
  • Familiarity with the Stewart Calculus textbook
  • Ability to analyze and solve complex mathematical problems
  • Basic knowledge of calculus fundamentals
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Multivariable Calculus" by Edwards and Penney for advanced problem sets
  • Explore "How to Ace the Rest of Calculus" by Adams and Thompson for foundational concepts
  • Investigate additional calculus resources such as "Calculus: Early Transcendentals" by James Stewart
  • Look into online platforms offering multivariable calculus problem sets and solutions
USEFUL FOR

Students enrolled in multivariable calculus courses, educators seeking supplementary materials, and anyone looking to enhance their problem-solving skills in advanced calculus.

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.
