Using a dual presentation that is rigorous and comprehensive?yet exceptionaly reader-friendly in approach?this book covers most of the standard topics in multivariate calculus and an introduction to linear algebra. It focuses in underlying ideas, integrates theory and applications, offers a host of learning aids, features coverage of differential forms, and emphasizes numerical methods that highlight modern applications of mathematics. The revised and expanded content of this edition includes new discussions of functions; complex numbers; closure, interior, and boundary; orientation; forms restricted to vector spaces; expanded discussions of subsets and subspaces of R^n; probability, change of basis matrix; and more. For individuals interested in the fields of mathematics, engineering, and science?and looking for a unified approach and better understanding of vector calculus, linear algebra, and differential forms.

John H. Hubbard (BA Harvard University, PhD University of Paris) is professor of mathematics at Cornell University and at the University of Provence in Marseilles he is the author of several books on differential equations. His research mainly concerns complex analysis, differential equations, and dynamical systems. He believes that mathematics research and teaching are activities that enrich each other and should not be separated.
Barbara Burke Hubbard (BA Harvard University) is the author of The World According to Wavelets, which was awarded the prix d'Alembert by the French Mathematical Society in 1996.
