What are some good textbooks for advanced calculus with challenging exercises?

AI Thread Summary
For advanced calculus textbooks with challenging exercises, "Engineering Mathematics" and "Advanced Engineering Mathematics" by K.A. Stroud are recommended. These texts provide in-depth explanations of complex topics like gradients, divergence, and curls of vectors. They are noted for their problem sets that exceed the difficulty level of Stewart's calculus. The discussion emphasizes the need for a textbook that balances theoretical understanding with practical exercises. These recommendations aim to meet the request for a rigorous approach to advanced calculus.

Hi nameVoid,

I use 'Engineering Mathematics' and 'Advanced Engineering Mathematics' by K.A. Stroud.

The advanced book gives some pretty good explanations of advanced Calculus including Gradients, Divergence & Curls of Vectors.

Not too sure if the above is of help. Hope so though.

Regards,

Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
