About The Book

Calculus by Jerrold Marsden is a comprehensive textbook designed to help students use calculus effectively in solving a wide range of mathematical and physical problems. Building on years of teaching experience at Berkeley, this second edition incorporates valuable feedback from the first edition, ensuring that students gain both confidence and mastery in calculus.

The book emphasizes understanding and applying calculus concepts, offering a carefully structured set of exercises. The exercises are grouped into three levels of difficulty: introductory problems to build confidence, intermediate exercises to promote independent thinking, and advanced challenges for the best students, marked with a star (*). These exercises are carefully crafted to test students' understanding, encourage problem-solving, and foster insight into the real-world applications of calculus. This structured approach ensures that students develop both the technical skills and the intellectual depth required to tackle complex calculus problems across various fields.
