Theory and problems of Advanced Calculus /

Abstract

Advanced calculus is not a single theory. However, the various sub-theories, including vector analysis, infinite series, and special functions, have in common a dependency on the fundamental notions of the calculus. An important objective of this second edition has been to modernize terminology and concepts, so that the interrelationships become clearer. For example, in keeping with present usage functions of a real variable are automatically single valued; differentials are defined as linear functions, and the universal character of vector notation and theory are given greater emphasis. Further explanations have been included and, on occasion, the appropriate terminology to support them.
