Addresses linear algebra from the basics to the spectral theorem and examines a range of topics in multivariable calculus. This second edition: introduces the derivative as a linear transformation; presents linear algebra in a concrete context based on complementary ideas in calculus; explains differential forms on Euclidean space permitting Green's theorem, Gauss's theorem, and Stokes's theorem to be understood in a natural setting; and more. Mathematical analysts, algebraists, engineers, physicists, and students taking advanced calculus and linear algebra courses should find this book useful. College and university bookstores may order five or more copies at a special student price which is available upon request to Marcel Dekker Inc.
