Calculus of real-valued functions of several real variables, also known as m- tivariable calculus, is a rich and fascinating subject. On the one hand, it seeks to extend eminently useful and immensely successful notions in one-variable calculus such as limit, continuity, derivative, and integral to "higher dim- sions. " On the other hand, the fact that there is much more room to move n about in the n-space R than on the real line R brings to the fore deeper geometric and topological notions that play a signi?cant role in the study of functions of two or more variables.
