Summary
A half-century ago, advanced calculus was a well-de?ned subject at the core of the undergraduate mathematics curriulum. The classic texts of Taylor [19], Buck [1], Widder [21], and Kaplan [9], for example, show some of the ways it was approached. Over time, certain aspects of the course came to be seen as more signi?cant—those seen as giving a rigorous foundation to calculus—and they - came the basis for a new course, an introduction to real analysis, that eventually supplanted advanced calcu…

Critics Review
From the reviews: “Many concepts in calculus and linear algebra have obvious geometric interpretations. … This book differs from other advanced calculus works … it can serve as a useful reference for professors. … it is the adopted course resource, its inclusion in a college library’s collection should be determined by the size and interests of the mathematics faculty. Summing Up … . Upper-division undergraduate through professional collections.” (C. Bauer, Choice, Vol. 48 (8), April, 2011) “The author of this book sees an opportunity to bring back a more geometric, visual and physically-motivated approach to the subject. … The author makes exceptionally good use of two and three-dimensional graphics. Drawings and figures are abundant and strongly support his exposition. Exercises are plentiful and they cover a range from routine computational work to proofs and extensions of results from the text. … Strong students … are likely to be attracted by the approach and the serious meaty content.” (William J. Satzer, The Mathematical Association of America, January, 2011)
