Contents:
Chapter 1. The geometry of euclidean space-- Chapter 2. Differentiation-- Chapter 3. Vector-valued functions-- Chapter 4. Higher-oeder derivatives; maxima and minima-- Chapter 5. Integration-- Chapter 6. Integrals over paths and surfaces-- Chapter 7. Vector analysis-- Appendices.
Summary: This book is excellent in that it does exactly what it is meant to do: provide a thorough introduction to vector calculus. The book is not meant to be read only at the level of something like Stewart, but to probe a little deeper. Explanations are thorough, almost to the point of redundancy sometimes, but they hammer the concepts home.
