Multivariable Calculus. Differentiation in R^n, inverse and implicit function theorems, and integration. This page collects canonical references that organise the subject and provide entry points to its main techniques.
Foundations and canonical references
The standard treatments of multivariable calculus approach the subject from complementary angles. Spivak, Calculus on Manifolds (1965) is the anchor reference for the subject and lays out the core definitions, theorems, and worked examples that practitioners return to. Hubbard, Vector Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Differential Forms (2015) gives a parallel, more proof-oriented exposition of the same material and is widely used as a graduate text.
Open methodological questions for multivariable calculus include sharpening the bridges between foundational theory and computational practice, extending classical results to broader or more structured settings, and integrating the techniques surveyed above with adjacent mathematical disciplines. The references listed in this page are the entry points that current work builds on.
