Multivariable Calculus with Mathematica is a textbook addressing
the calculus of several variables. Instead of just using Mathematica to
directly solve problems, the students are encouraged to learn the syntax
and to write their own code to solve problems. This not only encourages
scientific computing skills but at the same time stresses the complete
understanding of the mathematics. Questions are provided at the end of
the chapters to test the student's theoretical understanding of the
mathematics, and there are also computer algebra questions which test
the student's ability to apply their knowledge in non-trivial ways.
Features
- Ensures that students are not just using the package to directly solve
problems, but learning the syntax to write their own code to solve
problems
- Suitable as a main textbook for a Calculus III course, and as a
supplementary text for topics scientific computing, engineering, and
mathematical physics
- Written in a style that engages the students' interest and encourages
the understanding of the mathematical ideas
