Differential and Integral Calculus, Volume 2 by Richard Courant 1888-1972

Volume 2 of the classic advanced calculus text Richard Courant's Differential and Integral Calculus is considered an essential text for those working toward a career in physics or other applied math. Volume 2 covers the more advanced concepts of analytical geometry and vector analysis, including multivariable functions, multiple integrals, integration over regions, and much more, with extensive appendices featuring additional instruction and author annotations. The included supplement contains formula and theorem lists, examples, and answers to in-text problems for quick reference.

Richard Courant (1888 - 1972) obtained his doctorate at the University of Göttingen in 1910. Here, he became Hilbert's assistant. He returned to Göttingen to continue his research after World War I, and founded and headed the university's Mathematical Institute. In 1933, Courant left Germany for England, from whence he went on to the United States after a year. In 1936, he became a professor at the New York University. Here, he headed the Department of Mathematics and was Director of the Institute of Mathematical Sciences - which was subsequently renamed the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. Among other things, Courant is well remembered for his achievement regarding the finite element method, which he set on a solid mathematical basis and which is nowadays the most important way to solve partial differential equations numerically.
