The present course on calculus of several variables is meant as a text, either for one semester following A First Course in Calculus, or for a year if the calculus sequence is so structured.
This book was planned originally not as a work to be published, but as an excuse to buy a computer, incidentally to give me a chance to organize my own ideas ~n what measure theory every would-be analyst should learn, and to detail my approach to the subject.
Responses from colleagues and students concerning the first edition indicate that the text still answers a pedagogical need which is not addressed by other texts.
The purpose of a first course in calculus is to teach the student the basic notions of derivative and integral, and the basic techniques and applica- tions which accompany them.
