Differential and Integral Calculus, Volume 2 [Paperback]

Volume 2 of the classic advanced calculus text

Richard Courant's Differential and Integral Calculus is considered an essential text for those working toward a career in physics or other applied math. Volume 2 covers the more advanced concepts of analytical geometry and vector analysis, including multivariable functions, multiple integrals, integration over regions, and much more, with extensive appendices featuring additional instruction and author annotations. The included supplement contains formula and theorem lists, examples, and answers to in-text problems for quick reference.

Partial table of contents:

Preliminary Remarks on Analytical Geometry and Vector Analysis:Rectangular Coordinates and Vectors, Affine Transformations and theMultiplication of Determinants.

Functions of Several Variables and Their Derivatives: Continuity,The Total Differential of a Function and Its GeometricalMeaning.

Developments and Applications of the Differential Calculus:Implicit Functions, Maxima and Minima.

Multiple Integrals: Transformation of Multiple Integrals, ImproperIntegrals.

Integration over Regions in Several Dimensions: Surface Integrals,Stokes's Theorem in Space.

Differential Equations: Examples on the Mechanics of a Particle,Linear Differential Equations.
