Multivariate Calculus Text Recommendation

In summary, the conversation discusses the topic of finding a suitable text for learning multivariate calculus and linear algebra. The individual is seeking a text with more theory and less applications and is considering books such as Apostol, Marsden-Hoffman, Spivak, and Lang. They are also looking for recommendations and asking if these texts may be too rigorous for a first exposure.

It has been awhile since I've posted. :rolleyes: Anyways...

I'd like to start learning multivariate calculus along with linear algebra. However, I have a little problem in choosing a suitable text. I'd like to have a text with more theory and less applications. Some people have recommend Apostol, but is it too rigorous for an introduction? So, I'd like to ask what is a good multivariate calculus text that is comprehensive?

I am also using this linear algebra book in conjunction, but it's up for change.

i learned from spivak, calculus on manifolds, and lang, analysis 1, and fleming, calculus of several variables.

I'm inclined to buy Spivak's, but is it too rigorous as a first exposure?
