may not be included.
This brief book presents an accessible treatment of multivariable calculus with an early emphasis on linear
algebra as a tool. Its organization draws strong analogies with the basic ideas of elementary calculus (derivative,
integral, and fundamental theorem). Traditional in approach, it is written with an assumption that the student
reader may have computing facilities for two- and three-dimensional graphics, and for doing symbolic algebra. Chapter
topics include coordinate and vector geometry, differentiation, applications of differentiation, integration, and
fundamental theorems. For those with knowledge of introductory calculus in a wide range of disciplines including--but
not limited to--mathematics, engineering, physics, chemistry, and
economics.
