Editorial Review:
Modern conceptual treatment of multivariable calculus, emphasizing the interplay of geometry and analysis via linear algebra and the approximation of nonlinear mappings by linear ones. At the same time, ample attention is paid to the classical applications and computational methods. Hundreds of examples, problems and figures. 1973 edition.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Excellent Refresher
I don't know how good this book will be for someone who is not comfortable with proofs, because it takes a somewhat more abstract, less computational and visual approach to the subject. Nevertheless, if you already learned multivariable calculus in a computational/visual style in an early undergraduate class, and now find yourself more comfortable with the abstract approach of higher mathematics, this book will help you re-learn the concepts of multivariable calculus in the proper abstract setting. ...

Rating:  - The best Advanced Calculus Book
This is a wonderful book. The exercises are interesting and resolvable: you do not need to be a genius. In rigorous style, it covers differential manifolds, differential forms, etc.. Buy it!
Rating: - Great prep for manifolds and tensors
This is a clear, well motivated discussion of advanced calculus (2nd year, multivariable) using the machinery and vocabulary of the differential mapping and differential forms. This discussion takes place within Rn and all manifolds are explicitly within Rn. So this lets you get a good grounding in the ideas that are generalized in the more abstract differential geometry/Reimannian setting. There is mothing you lead to "unlearn" to adapt to the more abstract world of bundles. It gives a clear roadmap ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent buy. Exceedingly clear presentation.
Some people think Dover books, being cheap, ought to be bad. In fact, this Dover series specializes in "salvaging" great titles that went out of print and are of great intellectual/pedagogical value. Such is the case again for this title.
Very well written. Of course, C.H. Edwards is notorious for his book on the history of calculus.
Exceedingly clear. I started reading it while taking Calculus II, in search of some more elaborate perspectives. It is that clear.
Chapter 1 is a brief ... Read More
Rating: - Great read
Clear, and well written. It is a great combination of linear algebra and analysis. The text is clear and the examples are illustrative.
