Virkelig nydelig lærebog for lærenemme og lærevillige matematikstuderende. Grundliggende matematisk analyse med masser af gennemarbejdede eksempler og en klar rød tråd. Selv om Richard Courant skrev den i 30'ernes Tyskland, er den stadig værd at læse.

Description

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.
