Calculus Multivariable

By Steven G. Krantz and Brian E. Blank

Book Overview

? Readable rigor: The writing of this text is cogent, clear, and compelling; while carefully maintaining mathematical precision. ? Depth of Exercises: Exercise sets have real depth and are organised? into three parts; skills exercises (Problems for Practice), more challenging and thought-provoking exercises (Further Theory and Practice), and technology exercises (Calculator/Computer Sciences) ? Pedagogical Features: These include: Insight, A Look Back, A Look Forward, Quick Quiz, Preview, Key/Basic Steps, Summary of Key Topics, Genesis and Development ? Advanced Students Are Engaged Early: Students who were exposed to calculus in high school are challenged and engaged early; for instance, by early exposure to sequences (in Chapter 2, "Limits") ? Technology: Technology is an essential part of modern life. It is used throughout the book in a natural and comfortable manner. Students see how scientists and engineers think about mathematical questions. ? Real World Applications: Applications are not "made up" or artificial. They are shown as an essential part of the way we think about Mathematics and the world around us. ? Sequences: These are introduced early and used throughout to motivate key ideas like limits, exponentials and series. ?
