Synopsis

Intended for University level one semester course in multivariable calculus and a one-semester course in vector calculus.

This new Fourth Edition of several-variable calculus retains the qualities that have made Adams so popular: the clear, concise writing style, geometric reasoning, and fully and carefully stated theorems and proofs. Extensive reviewing has resulted in a reorganization of the material for efficiency sake, resulting in less redundancy with greater emphasis on key topics.

About the Author

Robert Adams joined the Mathematics Department of the University of British Columbia in 1966 after completing a Ph.D. in Mathematics at the University of Toronto. His research interests in analysis led to the 1975 publication of a monograph, Sobolev Spaces, by Academic Press. It remained in print for 23 years. A second edition, joint with his colleague Professor John Fournier, was published in 2003. Professor Adams's teaching interests led to the 1982 publication of the first of his many calculus texts by Addison Wesley. These texts are now used worldwide. With a keen interest in computers, mathematical typesetting, and illustration, in 1984 Professor Adams became the first Canadian author to typeset his own textbooks using TeX on a personal computer. Since then he has also done all the illustrations for his books using the MG software program he developed with his colleague, Professor Robert Israel. Now retired from UBC, Professor Adams is currently engaged in preparing the sixth editions of his textbooks and pursuing his interest in the Linux operating system.
