About the author

Howard Anton obtained his B.A. from Lehigh University, his M.A. from the University of Illinois, and his Ph.D. from the Polytechnic University of Brooklyn, all in mathematics. In the early 1960's he worked for Burroughs Corporation and Avco Corporation at Cape Canaveral, Florida, where he was involved with the manned space program. In 1968 he joined the Mathematics Department at Drexel University, where he taught full time until 1983. Since that time he has been an adjunct professor at Drexel and has devoted the majority of his time to textbook writing and activities for mathematical associations. Dr. Anton was president of the EPADEL Section of the Mathematical Association of America (MAA), Served on the board of Governors of that organization, and guided the creation of the Student Chapters of the MAA. He has published numerous research papers in functional analysis, approximation theory, and topology, as well as pedagogical papers. He is best known for his textbooks in mathematics, which are among the most widely used in the world. There are currently more than one hundred versions of his books, including translations into Spanish, Arabic, Portuguese, Italian, Indonesian, French, Japanese, Chinese, Hebrew, and German. For relaxation, Dr. Anton enjoys traveling and photography.

Reviews

This book makes me very sad that I've lost my copy of Newton's Principia. I learned calculus from its inventor when I was in college, which was about the only time I was happy doing math.
Anton's college textbook forces the reader to grind through example problems and proofs, with occasional sidebars on using your graphing calculator and modern applications of calculus. It's grunt work, devoid of context. I might keep it around for reference, but the sheer weight of its 1200+ pages makes it a likely candidate for abandonment the next time I move.

an amazing book

[Ahmed Abrar]

Once you begin loving analysis-centric approach like that by Tom Apostol, your thirst will still remain after going through it. When Denis Auroux says, differntials dx, dy or dz are merely 'place-holders', not numbers, the more things get exacerbated. But these niceties haven't perturbed most engineering students over the years, at least in Bangladesh. Yet again, it feels wavering to proceed without filling out the holes.
But I must admire the visual interpretation it has got.

Edit:
It's not that hollow as my review sounded. For instance, condition of integrability is much legibly defined and graphed in here, which I cannot see there at the James Stewart's.
