Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This book gives a clear presentation of calculus with applications to engineering and the sciences. Emphasis is placed on the methods and applications of the calculus with some coverage of relevant theory, including functions, limits, continuity, differentiation, integrations in higher dimensions, and line and surface integrals.

Includes bibliographical references (page 1055) and index.
