Product Description
Presents a conceptual underpinning for multivariable calculus that is as natural and intuitively simple as possible. This book focuses on modeling physical phenomena, especially from physics and engineering, and on developing geometric intuition. Geometric intuition is particularly stressed. The synthetic, coordinate-free geometries of 2- and 3-dimensional Euclidean spaces (E^2 and E^3) have a primary role. Wherever possible, coordinate-free definitions are used

 Excellent book for a mathematical physicist. July 17, 2006

This book offers a unique (in my experience) mix of visually oriented motivation, mathematical clarity & rigor, and examples from classical physics. It is well organized and (relatively) easy to understand, and it has a wealth of good exercises, many with answers. My only wish is for a solutions book.
 A good book from a great teacher February 20, 1999

Perhaps I have a bias because the author was my professor for the course, but this is a high quality calculus text. The book clearly explains the subject matter with useful examples which are accompanied by appropriate problems. BTW, I think the comment below is funny. You should ignore it...

I took Professor Rogers' class four years ago (based on a draft of the book). I still use this book as a reference for my research. It is much better than other calculus texts that I've consulted. By the way, please note that 'fred@mit.edu' does not exist. Maybe he dropped out after failing the class...
