Features an introduction to advanced calculus and highlights itsinherent concepts from linear algebra
Advanced Calculus reflects the unifying role of linearalgebra in an effort to smooth readers' transition to advancedmathematics. The book fosters the development of completetheorem-proving skills through abundant exercises while alsopromoting a sound approach to the study. The traditional theoremsof elementary differential and integral calculus are rigorouslyestablished, presenting the foundations of calculus in a way thatreorients thinking toward modern analysis.
Following an introduction dedicated to writing proofs, the bookis divided into three parts:
Part One explores foundational one-variable calculus topics fromthe viewpoint of linear spaces, norms, completeness, and linearfunctionals.
Part Two covers Fourier series and Stieltjes integration, whichare advanced one-variable topics.
Part Three is dedicated to multivariable advanced calculus,including inverse and implicit function theorems and Jacobiantheorems for multiple integrals.
Numerous exercises guide readers through the creation of theirown proofs, and they also put newly learned methods into practice.In addition, a "Test Yourself" section at the end of each chapterconsists of short questions that reinforce the understanding ofbasic concepts and theorems. The answers to these questions andother selected exercises can be found at the end of the book alongwith an appendix that outlines key terms and symbols from settheory.
Guiding readers from the study of the topology of the real lineto the beginning theorems and concepts of graduate analysis,Advanced Calculus is an ideal text for courses in advancedcalculus and introductory analysis at the upper-undergraduate andbeginning-graduate levels. It also serves as a valuable referencefor engineers, scientists, and mathematicians.

"The book is well-suited for students who have had some basic calculus and linear algebra, as an intermediate step before beginning more advanced topics as measure theory, functional analysis, and the theory of differential equations." (Bull Belg Math Soc, 1 July 2010)
"This is an excellent book, well worth considering for a textbook for an undergraduate analysis course." (MAA Reviews July, 2008)
