Editorial Reviews
“The book under review, a little over 500 pages co-authored with Maria Terrell, is a first-approximation to Lax’s dream come true: a ‘thorough revision’ of the 1976 Lax-Burstein-Lax. … This reviewer will attempt to use them as a pedagogical tool when teaching single-variable calculus or introductory analysis in the future. … It is filled with beautiful ideas that are elegantly explained and chock-full with problems that will enchant both the experienced teacher and the curious novice.” (Tushar Das, MAA Reviews, December, 2014)
“The text starts with introductory facts on real numbers, sequences and limits, followed by chapters aimed at differential and integral calculus. … The text is accompanied by a lot of worked examples, figures and applications. Together with detailed proofs of theorems this makes the text suitable also for self-study.” (Vladimír Janiš, zbMATH, 2014)
Editorial Reviews
“The presentation of the material is guided by applications so that physics and engineering students will find the text engaging and see the relevance of multivariable calculus to their work. The text contains over 500 exercises with answers and/or solutions to half provided at the back of the book, enabling students to gauge their understanding of the content as they proceed. A well-written, engaging text. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and professionals.” (J. T. Zerger, Choice, Vol. 56 (03), November, 2018)
“This book belongs to a collection aimed at third- and fourth-year undergraduate mathematics students at North American universities. … There are more than 200 figures to help the reader to understand the explanations and about 500 problems. … I think this book can be recommended since, moreover, it is very pedagogical.” (Richard Becker, Mathematical Reviews, October, 2018)
“Lax and Terrell’s sequel to their Calculus With Applications presents a first course in multivariable calculus that fits in just over 400 pages. Even instructors who use standard texts will find much of value in this refreshing first edition. The book is written with a wide range of STEM students in mind, and its exposition remains remarkably fluid without scarificing precision. Every section of each chapter ends with an excellent collection of exercises, which should be graciously welcomed by independent learners and instructors alike.” (Tushar Das, MAA Reviews, September, 2018)
“The main achievement of the authors is that they essentially have simplified the teaching of the old topics to make a place for new ones. The proofs are exposited to encourage understanding, not meaningless rigor. … the presented book is a useful tool for all mathematicians (not only for students) and I find it regrettable that this book was not written when I was a student.” (Andrey Zahariev, zbMATH 1396.26002, 2018)
