Multivariable Calculus

By Howard Anton

The latest edition of this bestselling textbook uses a clear and rigorous approach to explain multivariate calculus. Incorporates the concepts of a vector field, emphasizing the major applications of vector analysis to physics and engineering. New material includes Jacobians, parametric representations of surfaces, Kepler's law, conics in polar coordinates, and integrals with respect to arc length. The technological exercises consist of problems that arise in the existing world, challenging students to develop a problem-solving strategy appropriate for the technology available to them.

Customer Reviews

Excellent overview of mutivariable calculus

I have to disagree with my fellow Californians and unfortunately agree with someone from New York. This is an excellent foundation overview without the clutter of Anton's and Stewart's books. I found it to be a conveniently carried paperback and an enjoyable read.

This book presents the essential ideas

Multivariable Calculus presents the essential ideas of the subject in an intuitive manner. It doesn't overwhelm you with detail like Stewart's "Calculus" books. The use of numerical, graphical and algebraic examples make many concepts,eg, implicit function theorem, line integrals and Green's theorem an easy business to understand. However, the examples in some parts like change of variables were a little too simplistic, and I thought lacked adequate explanation.
