Calculus II

by Jerold Marsden, Alan Weinstein

The second of a three-volume work, this is the result of the authors'experience teaching calculus at Berkeley. The book covers techniques and applications of integration, infinite series, and differential equations, the whole time motivating the study of calculus using its applications. The authors include numerous solved problems, as well as extensive exercises at the end of each section. In addition, a separate student guide has been prepared.

Continued from where Book I in this series left off. Very good explanation of various methods of calculating Integrals. Great detail about hyperbolic and inverse hyperbolic functions. The applications and techniques of integration are well explained. I almost breezed through the Limits, L'Hopital's rule and Numerical methods as well as the chapter on Infinite series (which I loved thoroughly) because of how well they are written.

All over the book the examples do a fantastic job of bringing home a certain concept in my mind and helping me with understanding why something is b ing called out.

I had to look at external references when it came to Differential Equations in general - whether it is in First order equations in Chapter 8 or second order equations in Chapter 12. The material can be made a bit less terse and Differential equations can in general be collected in a single bucket as well.

At the end of the day it is an undergraduate series textbook and does a good job. if you are expecting the detail at the level of Apostle then this book might seem basic to you.
