Review
From the reviews:
"I find this book a very useful supplementary reading for undergraduate students and a good teaching aid for lecturers of topics involving traditional variational calculus (as e. g. mathematical physics). It is written with a deep pedagogical attention ... . According to my classroom experience with undergraduate physicists, the presentation of the examples in the book may be very helpful ... . It can also be appreciated that the author tries to present the results showing motivation and heuristical ideas for each crucial theorem." (L. L. Stachó, Acta Scientiarum Mathematicarum, Vol. 71, 2005)
"The calculus of variations is one of the latest books in Springer’s Universitext series. As such, it is intended to be a non-intimidating, introductory text ... . I enjoyed reading The calculus of variations. Brunt writes in a lucid, engaging style ... . can be used in a variety of undergraduate and beginning postgraduate courses. There is sufficient meat, both in the range of examples treated and in the development of the underlying mathematics ... that most of its intended audience will just be grateful ... ." (Nick Lord, The Mathematical Gazette, Vol. 89 (516), 2005)
"The author describes this book as suitable for a one semester course for advance undergraduate students in math, physics or engineering. ... Accordingly, I chose to use this book as my primary reference for presenting the course ... . From my perspective, the book was pitched at a good level for the students I was teaching ... . Overall I enjoyed this book, and would unreservedly recommend it ... . The book really brought home to me the elegance of this subject ... ." (Matthew Roughan, The Australian Mathematical Society Gazette, Vol. 32 (1), 2005)
"This text provides a friendly and ... elementary introduction to the calculus of variations. ... The emphasis is on well-chosen examples used to obtain the necessary heuristics for developing the theoretical background. ... Due to its concrete and well-organized approach, the book constitutes a valuable addition to the text book literature on the calculus of variations." (M. Kunzinger, Monatshefte für Mathematik, Vol. 147 (1), 2006)
"Bruce van Brunt shows his love of the subject in his new book The Calculus of Variations ... . Brunt gives us a nice historical introduction to the calculus of variations. ... The exercises have ... been polished and sharpened in the classroom. ... this is a well crafted, reasonably priced book that would be a fine introduction to a fascinating subject that not enough mathematicians know about." (Ed Sandifer, MathDL, May, 2004)
"Professor van Brunt’s Calculus of Variations is an easily understandable introductory account of the (classical) Calculus of Variations ... . This text is aimed at the beginning graduate and advanced graduate students of mathematics and physics as well as engineering. ... The references contain 75 items ... ." (R. Thiele, Zeitschrift für Analysis und ihre Anwendungen, Vol. 24 (4), 2005)

Right of withdrawal
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
-
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
-
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
-
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
-
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
-
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
-
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
-
for delivery of sound or video recording or computer software in a sealed package if the seal has been removed after the delivery.
