Hi I want to start learning multi variable calculus specifically for learning electrodynamics. What are some good text books?

    I would think that the one required for your multivariate calculus math course would be an obvious choice. – Kyle Kanos Jun 07 '14 at 02:38
  • The one I learnt from as an undergrad was Stewart's book: "multivariable calculus". I quite liked it, lots of examples. If you want a thicker more comprehensive book with calculus and other things in there that has lots of physics and engineering applications I would recommend Kreyszig's "advanced engineering mathematics". – Arthur Suvorov Jun 07 '14 at 02:57

    At least as a supplement, I recommend this undergraduate book by Shankar – zzz Jun 07 '14 at 03:10

    I understand that in principle you should just be able to learn the topic with the correct text. However, in practice at that level, I would highly suggest taking a course as there is a lot more to the learning experience than simply having the information. – IntuitivePhysics Jun 07 '14 at 04:08
  • susan colley's Vector Calculus text is more at the level you need. Also, my notes: http://www.supermath.info/MultivariateCalculus.html are ripe with errors and good ideas. – James S. Cook Jun 07 '14 at 04:12
