Bøker av Michael Spivak

Spivak's celebrated Calculus combines leisurely explanations, a profusion of examples, a wide range of exercises and plenty of illustrations in an easy-going approach that enlightens difficult concepts and rewards effort. Ideal for honours students and mathematics majors seeking an alternative to doorstop textbooks and more formidable introductions to real analysis.

This book uses elementary versions of modern methods found in sophisticated mathematics to discuss portions of "advanced calculus" in which the subtlety of the concepts and methods makes rigor difficult to attain at an elementary level.

A supplementary text for undergraduate courses in the calculus of variations which provides an introduction to modern techniques in the field based on measure theoretic geometry. Varifold geometry is presented through and appraisal of Plateau's problem.
