Derivatives and integrals of multivariable functions

The book under review presents a systematic introduction to the calculus of real functions of several variables. Reading of the book requires familiarity of the basics of single-variable theory of real functions, linear algebra and topology of the Euclidean space. The first three chapters are devoted to the study of differentiability of functions of several variables. Besides the standard material concerning derivatives, these chapters present an introduction to curves, surfaces, tangents and normals, and develop the basic results about the inverse function theorem and the implicit function theorem. Chapter 4 is concerned with the definition of the Riemann integral of a function of several variables. The following chapter is devoted to the development of Riemann integration. The covered topics are: Fubini's theorem, properties of integrals, change of variables, generalized integrals, line integrals, surface integrals. The final Chapter 6 gives an introduction to the basics of vector analysis: integrals of the tangential and normal components, path-independence, the theorems of Green, Stokes and Gauss. The presentation of the material is very clear throughout. Proofs are carefully worked out, theorems are illustrated by examples, and exercises at the end of each section will help to master the calculus. The book is highly recommendable to students to build a foundation for further studies in analysis and differential geometry.
