For a one-semester course, no matter what, one should cover the first four chapters, up to the law of conservation of energy, which provides a beautiful application of the chain rule in a physical context, and ties up the mathematics of this course with standard material from courses on physics. Then there are roughly two possibilities: One is to cover Chapters V and VI on maxima and minima, quadratic forms, critical points, and Taylor's formula. One can then finish with Chapter IX on double integration to round off the one-term course. The other is to go into curve integrals, double integration, and Green's theorem, that is Chapters VII, VIII, IX, and X, §1. This forms a coherent whole.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1987-02-17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780387964058\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4612-1068-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 619\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44422332579980,"sku":"9780387964058","price":71.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780387964058.jpg?v=1775712281","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780387964058","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
