Description for Functions of Several Variables
Paperback. Num Pages: 146 pages, biography. BIC Classification: YQS. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 210 x 148 x 8. Weight in Grams: 202.
This book is aimed at mathematics students, typically in the second year of a university course. The first chapter, however, is suitable for first-year students. Differentiable functions are treated initially from the standpoint of approximating a curved surface locally by a fiat surface. This enables both geometric intuition, and some elementary matrix algebra, to be put to effective use. In Chapter 2, the required theorems - chain rule, inverse and implicit function theorems, etc- are stated, and proved (for n variables), concisely and rigorously. Chapter 3 deals with maxima and minima, including problems with equality and inequality constraints. The chapter ... Read more
