Publisher: Pearson, 2001

For an undergraduate course in Vector or Multivariable Calculus for math, engineering, and science majors.

Using a dual presentation that is rigorous and comprehensive―yet exceptionally student-friendly in approach―this text covers most of the standard topics in multivariate calculus and part of a standard first course in linear algebra. It focuses in underlying ideas, integrates theory and applications, offers a host of pedagogical aids, features coverage of differential forms and emphasizes numerical methods to prepare students for modern applications of mathematics.

About the Author:

John H. Hubbard (BA Harvard University, PhD University of Paris) is professor of mathematics at Cornell University and at the University of Provence in Marseilles he is the author of several books on differential equations. His research mainly concerns complex analysis, differential equations, and dynamical systems. He believes that mathematics research and teaching are activities that enrich each other and should not be separated.

Barbara Burke Hubbard (BA Harvard University) is the author of The World According to Wavelets, which was awarded the prix d'Alembert by the French Mathematical Society in 1996.
