Designed for students who are taking a concurrent calculus-based physics course— primarily engineering, science, and mathematics majors. By focusing on the requirements of a specific group of students, the text has been structured such that calculus is presented as a single subject rather than a collection of topics. With a user-friendly approach that keeps the student in mind, the material is organized so that vector calculus is thoroughly covered over a four-quarter or three-semester sequence without neglecting topics usually covered in a calculus course.
