Description for Advanced Calculus : A Geometric View
With a fresh geometric approach that incorporates more than 250 illustrations, this title sets itself apart from all others in advanced calculus. Series: Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics. Num Pages: 542 pages, 3 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PBKB; PBKJ; PBW. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 265 x 188 x 38. Weight in Grams: 1200.
A half-century ago, advanced calculus was a well-de?ned subject at the core of the undergraduate mathematics curriulum. The classic texts of Taylor [19], Buck [1], Widder [21], and Kaplan [9], for example, show some of the ways it was approached. Over time, certain aspects of the course came to be seen as more signi?cant—those seen as giving a rigorous foundation to calculus—and they - came the basis for a new course, an introduction to real analysis, that eventually supplanted advanced calculus in the core. Advanced calculus did not, in the process, become less important, but its role in the curriculum ... Read more

Reviews for Advanced Calculus : A Geometric View
From the reviews: “Many concepts in calculus and linear algebra have obvious geometric interpretations. … This book differs from other advanced calculus works … it can serve as a useful reference for professors. … it is the adopted course resource, its inclusion in a college library’s collection should be determined by the size and interests of the mathematics faculty. ...
