Study guides and practice tests are available, but be forewarned that I may modify the material covered. There is no guarantee that the practice tests will look anything like my tests.

MATH 252

5) DIV, GRAD, CURL, AND ALL THAT: AN INFORMAL TEXT ON VECTOR CALCULUS

This is a popular, intermediate-level "follow-up" book that is highly recommended if you are interested in understanding why formulas work or if you are going to study electrostatics or fluid dynamics. It is not, however, recommended if you are just beginning to learn vector calculus; it is better for consolidating theory and concepts and for extending them to physical applications.

Fourth edition (2005): http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0393925161/ref=lpr_g_1/002-2895527-0547232?v=glance&s=books

Third edition (1996): http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0393969975/qid=1088859389/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/103-8659273-5319861?v=glance&s=books

CHEAP SUMMARY AND/OR PROBLEM BOOKS

You really do learn calculus through doing problems.
