Can you recommend me a good textbook for Calculus III?

In summary, the person is looking for a textbook for Calculus III (Multivariable Calculus) with lots of practice problems and less theoretical problems. The textbook should cover topics such as multiple integrals, finding areas and volumes using multiple integrals, finding jacobians, gradients, and partial derivatives. They are open to suggestions for textbooks other than Stewart and mention using "Calculus" by Larson and Edwards (8th edition) for previous calculus courses. However, they note that the textbook may not cover more than 3 dimensions.

I want a good textbook for Calculus III (Multivariable Calculus) that has lots of practice problems and less theoretical problems.

Wouldn't Stewart work?

Just disregard the final chapter--it's not very well explained.
 
  • #3
Is there any other good textbook besides Stewart?
 
  • #4
What have you been using for Calc I & II? Does it not include any multivariable calculus?
 
  • #5
My Calculus I & II textbook doesn't have Calculus III at all.
 
  • #6
I like "Calculus" by Larson and Edwards. I have the 8th edition, but they're up to 10 now.
I didn't like how (at least in my edition) they don't go above 3 dimensions, but it's pretty evident how to generalize stuff.
