Serge Lang's Calculus of Several Variables provides an effective introduction to readers with a solid understanding of single variable calculus, such as that gained by working through his A First Course in Calculus (Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics). Like that text, this one clearly conveys the key concepts, places them in context, gives the reader a sense of how mathematicians think about the subject, and teaches the reader the skills needed to solve challenging problems. Methods of solution are clearly explained, then effectively demonstrated through the examples. The exercises, which are generally challenging and occasionally daunting, reinforce these concepts and skills. Answers to most of the problems, including many fully worked out solutions, are provided in a 107 page appendix, making this text suitable for self-study. This book is unlike any other calculus, most of the problems are challenging, and the examples are part of the text, not a seperate entity. Without this book, I would have been lost in higher level math, such as Abstract Algebra, Topology, and Analysis. Many problems, beyond the trivial with every single problem worked out in the back. It really develops mathematical thinking and proof writing. Serge Lang is a talented instructor. First Edition (1973); Probable later printing. Seller Inventory # 55487
