He begins with a lucid discussion of differential forms and quickly moves to the fundamental theorems of calculus and Stokes? theorem. The result is genuine mathematics, both in spirit and content, and an exciting choice for an honors or graduate course or indeed for any mathematician in need of a refreshingly informal and flexible reintroduction to the subject. For all these potential readers, the author has made the approach work in the best tradition of creative mathematics.   This affordable softcover reprint of the 1994 edition presents the diverse set of topics from which advanced calculus courses are created in beautiful unifying generalization. The author emphasizes the use of differential forms in linear algebra, implicit differentiation in higher dimensions using the calculus of differential forms, and the method of Lagrange multipliers in a general but easy-to-use formulation. There are copious exercises to help guide the reader in testing understanding. The chapters can be read in almost any order, including beginning with the final chapter that contains some of the more traditional topics of advanced calculus courses. In addition, it is ideal for a course on vector analysis from the differential forms point of view.   The professional mathematician will find here a delightful example of mathematical literature; the student fortunate enough to have gone through this book will have a firm grasp of the nature of modern mathematics and a solid framework to continue to more advanced studies.   The most important feature?is that it is fun?it is fun to read the exercises, it is fun to read the comments printed in the margins, it is fun simply to pick a random spot in the book and begin reading. This is the way mathematics should be presented, with an excitement and liveliness that show why we are interested in the subject. ?The American Mathematical Monthly (First Review)   An inviting, unusual, high-level introduction to vector calculus, based solidly on differential forms. Superb exposition: informal but sophisticated, down-to-earth but general, geometrically rigorous, entertaining but serious. Remarkable diverse applications, physical and mathematical. ?The American Mathematical Monthly (1994) Based on the Second Edition  . 410 0$aModern Birkhäuser Classics,$x2197-1803 606 $aMathematical analysis 606 $aAnalysis (Mathematics) 606 $aFunctional analysis 606 $aFunctions of real variables 606 $aSequences (Mathematics) 606 $aAnalysis$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M12007 606 $aFunctional Analysis$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M12066 606 $aReal Functions$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M12171 606 $aSequences, Series, Summability$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M1218X 615 0$aMathematical analysis. 615 0$aAnalysis (Mathematics). 615 0$aFunctional analysis. 615 0$aFunctions of real variables. 615 0$aSequences (Mathematics). 615 14$aAnalysis. 615 24$aFunctional Analysis. 615 24$aReal Functions. 615 24$aSequences, Series, Summability. 676 $a515 700 $aEdwards$b Harold M$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$042829 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299974703321 996 $aAdvanced calculus$979478 997 $aUNINA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
