Summary: Clear and concrete exposition of the topic
Review: A lot of new books have a tendency to dilute the material with really nice computer generated graphics and so called "pedagogical" methods which really don't enhance intuitive and rigorous understanding. Moreover, there are books which use physics as a way around explaining the mathematics. This book is far above them. It is a MATH book, not a science book, and has no signs of pretention. The explanations require thought but once they are understood they contribute greatly to one's appreciation. There is not doubt that a good course in algebra and calculus are required. It might even be advisable to have a some knowledge of multivariable calculus. With all these tools in hand, this volume gives much and simply asks for some patience and deligence from the student. In short, this book is about teaching mathematics in a rigorous, and comprehensive style: all proofs are given (although some are "unique") and followed by discussion. Furthermore, the exercises really are at the heart of this book. To do them is to understand.

Summary: Great read
Review: Clear, and well written. It is a great combination of linear algebra and analysis. The text is clear and the examples are illustrative.

Summary: Great read
Review: This book is definetely worth the price (very inexpensive). Except for the outdated notation, I would recommend this book for advanced calculus course.

Summary: Beautiful combination of the Linear Algebra and Analysis
Review: This is a beautiful combination of the linear algebra and the analysis... is a original book in the sense that I have just named: a treatment of Calculus with a extensive use of Linear Algebra. It won't be easy to read it if you don't have enough tools of the elementary calculus. It is replete of carefully selected exercises and although I have not worked the book completely, I am sure along all the chapters preserve the same spirit with which it was conceived initially. You should have present that their reading leave much of the conventional style of other book types like Widder, Wylie, Kreyszig, and inclusive the elementary classic texts as those of Thomas and Leithold. It is, simply, a work where the unitary idea of two potent branches of the mathematics is shown, and that in definitive, there is not branch of the mathematics that is not connected with the other ones. This book is a combination Mirsky and Widder, if we can say, in a single complete and rigorous book.

Summary: Relatively user-friendly book on advanced calculus
Review: You'll need a complete background to understand this book. There are few practice problems, the ideas are presented with little explanation or connection to traditional lower calculus.
