Synopsis

Aimed at students seeking a career in science, engineering or mathematics, this text on multivariable calculus emphasizes that calculus is best understood via geometry and interdisciplinary applications. The book includes problem sets and chapter projects that offer a substantial source of applied problems. Also included are chapter-end "do-it-yourself" projects on topics in science, engineering and probability. Short examples of MATLAB code are featured occasionally.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Innovative in approach, this book is designed for those with careers in science, engineering, or mathematics. This book approaches each new topic from an intuitive perspective first, and then adds the appropriate precision and rigor. It emphasizes that calculus is best understood via geometry and interdisciplinary applications. Its rich selection of significant applications, careful arrangement of topics, and exceptionally readable explanations of difficult material ensure motivation and comprehension regardless of objective. Provides a considerable variety of interesting science and engineering applications throughout. Applications drawn from the physical sciences usually involve motion, force, work, or energy, and treat seriously both the physical and mathematical points of view. Restricts discussion of technology primarily to general issues regarding the appropriate and effective use of technology in calculus, occasionally including short examples of Matlab code.
