| Schaum's Outline of Advanced Calculus, Second Edition by McGraw-Hill It's working! | | Son came home one weekend and announced he was failing his college calculus course. We purchased this book for him and he is now getting A's......to be honest though.....don't know for sure if it's the book or our threaat to terminate his weekly allowance if he failed.....think it's probably both.......and son says the book has helped. | | Schaum's Outline of Advanced Calculus, Second Edition by McGraw-Hill Lots of problems, no solutions | | I don't know about you, but I buy Schaum books so I can have a large number of problems to work with answers so I know when I'm doing it right. My great frustration is people who say "don't look at the answers or you'll never learn the material". BS. That's fine for people with good highschool math preparation, but when you're striving to overcome the legacy of miserable math teachers in US public schools, it fails miserably. I can spend hours on a problem and still not get it. I think the problem for people like me is that we just don't know the language or know how to think about mathematics. Hence I'm giving the book 1 star. I'm looking for a supplement to an obtuse text for an advance calculus course, not another obtuse text. | | Schaum's Outline of Advanced Calculus, Second Edition by McGraw-Hill Ideal (solved examples) companion to your calculus textbook | If you are studying calculus, the books from Schaum will certainly help you to develop your problem solving ability.
This is NOT a real analysis textbook inspired on Bourbaki topology. So that some readers do not consider the material really advanced. I think they were expecting 18 ways to express the Axiom of Choice (Zorn Lemma for example) Godel conjecture, Fixed point theorems, path and non-path conected sets, differential forms, more terminology (homeomorphism, diffeomorphism, manifolds) etc...
The book has an approach similar to Piskunov or G.B. Thomas Junior books, that is, more elementary approaches (but note that elementary does not mean easy). Many solved problems.
Look at table of contents inside the book at amazon to grasp an idea of what you will get.
Overall, very good companion, practical and with many examples. | | Schaum's Outline of Advanced Calculus, Second Edition by McGraw-Hill Not what I expected | | This is a good book if you are not looking for true advanced calculus material. This is just calculus--with some tougher topics, but is not a true advanced calculus book (which is much more proof based). | | Schaum's Outline of Advanced Calculus, Second Edition by McGraw-Hill A Different Take on Advanced Calculus | After finishing the first 3 semesters of what is basically applied Calculus, majors in pure mathematics part company with their fellow students and move on to what is called "advanced calculus" or "functional analysis". This jump to the next level of mathematics, in which basically students have to be taught calculus all over again from a rigorous proof-based method, is a rude awakening to many. Most textbooks used in this situation, such as those by Rudin, assume that a talented and enthusiastic instructor will be acting as tour guide for the student, and will fill in the gaps. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. This Schaum's outline works well for such a situation. It not only covers what you would expect to see in undergraduate analysis, it mixes proofs with solved numerical problems and applications so that the student does not get bogged down or bored as can be the case with many of the texts on the subject that have nothing but proofs as exercises. In that way, it is unconventional in its treatment of the subject. Also, it provides more explanation and tutorial than you will find in the average Schaum's outline, and is pretty good at illustrating the correct way to perform a proof. If you can afford it, an excellent companion text to this Schaum's outline is Abbott's "Understanding Analysis", which can be used for self teaching of analysis because it is so detailed and clear.
