This textbook offers a high-level introduction to multi-variable differential calculus. Differential forms are introduced incrementally in the narrative, eventually leading to a unified treatment of Green's, Stokes' and Gauss' theorems. Furthermore, the presentation offers a natural route to differential geometry.
Contents:

"The characteristic features of the book are the abundance of worked examples, illustrated by nicely drawn suggestive gures and the excellent layout […]. There are also exercises at the end of each section. The book is clearly written, in a pleasant style, and can be recommended as a textbook for advanced calculus courses." - Tiberiu Trif in: Stud. Univ. Babes-Bolyai Math. 62 (2017), 2, S. 269-271
