Reviews

[Sean · Rating 3 out of 5]

Decent for multivariate calculus but it starts to explain some concepts poorly, especially with the arc length and curvature section and really anything that deals with polar coordinates. Probably good as a refresher but for self-study, I found myself referring the the Briggs textbook, especially for last chapters.

A good college-level survey of multivariable calculus.
