Publisher's Note
Addresses linear algebra from the basics to the spectral theorem and examines a range of topics in multivariable calculus. This second edition: introduces the derivative as a linear transformation; presents linear algebra in a concrete context based on complementary ideas in calculus; explains differential forms on Euclidean space permitting Green's theorem, Gauss's theorem, and Stokes's theorem to be understood in a natural setting; and more.;Mathematical analysts, algebraists, engineers, physicists, and students taking advanced calculus and linear algebra courses should find this book useful. College and university bookstores may order five or more copies at a special student price which is available upon request to Marcel Dekker Inc.
Industry Reviews A textbook for a year-long course, taught at Yale University, for freshman who have a solid background in high-school calculus and are planning to continue studying mathematics. Provides a unified, integrated treatment of linear algebra and multivariable calculus. The two subjects are combined to demonstrate how the methods complement each other, and to dilute the bitter medicine of linear algebra with something more palatable. The second edition is reorganized and informed by feedback from teachers and students; the date of the first is not noted. No bibliography. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or. Simon
