SynopsisWith this book, readers will develop a strong foundation in the theory of functions of several variables and of modern vector calculus in two and three dimensions. It utilizes a clear and easy-to-follow writing style along with carefully crafted examples and numerous illustrations to explain complex concepts., This book gives a comprehensive and thorough introduction to ideas and major results of the theory of functions of several variables and of modern vector calculus in two and three dimensions. Clear and easy-to-follow writing style, carefully crafted examples, wide spectrum of applications and numerous illustrations, diagrams, and graphs invite students to use the textbook actively, helping them to both enforce their understanding of the material and to brush up on necessary technical and computational skills. Particular attention has been given to the material that some students find challenging, such as the chain rule, Implicit Function Theorem, parametrizations, or the Change of Variables Theorem.
