Opis

In what is a rigorous treatment of multivariable differential and integral calculus, this book explains key theorems including Stokes's as well as covering extrema such as Lagrange multipliers. It explores Riemann integration in n dimensions in detail. A wide selection of problems, ranging from simple to challenging, is included with carefully written solutions. Ideal as a classroom text or a self study resource for students, this book will appeal to higher level undergraduates in Mathematics.

Recenzje

From the reviews:

"This is a textbook for a rigorous multivariable analysis course, intended for an undergraduate audience of juniors and seniors ... . The book also includes some material not easily found in the existing literature. ... also contains detailed solutions to many of its exercise; in fact, almost one-quarter of the book is devoted to solutions. ... the book very attractive to people interested in self-study, as well as to instructors using different books who are looking for a source of additional problems for their classes." (Mark Hunacek, The Mathematical Association of America, November, 2011)

Blurb

This book provides a rigorous treatment of multivariable differential and integral calculus. Inverse and implicit function theorems based on total derivatives are given and the connection with solving systems of equations is included. There is an extensive treatment of extrema, including constrained extrema and Lagrange multipliers, covering both first order necessary conditions and second order sufficient conditions. The material on Riemann integration in n dimensions, being delicate by its very nature, is discussed in detail. Differential forms and the general Stokes' Theorem are explained in the last chapter.

With a focus on clarity rather than brevity, this text gives clear motivation, definitions and examples with transparent proofs. Some of the material included is difficult to find in most texts, for example, double sequences in Chapter 2, Schwarz’ Theorem in Chapter 3 and sufficient conditions for constrained extrema in Chapter 5. A wide selection of problems, ranging from simple to challenging, is included with carefully written solutions. Ideal as a classroom text or a self study resource for students, this book will appeal to higher level undergraduates in Mathematics.
