The book under review is an easily accessible introduction to Advanced Calculus for those at the upper undergraduate level. As a student, I found it to be a successful mix of rigor and insight, a particularly valuable quality considering the fact that the subject is oftentimes the pons asinorum to abstract reasonings and proofs for most students of mathematics. The book begins with a relatively 'rigorous' refresher on the concepts of sets, functions, and graphs; later on a bunch of so-called field axioms are thrown in, but the author didn't treat these 'basic concepts' extensively as interesting subjects in their own right. Some topological concepts are introduced next, then sequence, continuity, and differentiation; in that order. Up to the last item, the semester course was concluded. Notice that this was only page 125 of a 600 page book, hence my inability to comment on subsequent chapters following that elementary discussion of differentiation. Pictures appropriate to the particular discussion are available; whenever possible the author attempted to provide a more intuitive understanding of a deep mathematical idea by discussing an example from the real world or through a physical interpretation. The exercises vary in difficulty, but some are particularly hard that a solution manual would be very much welcomed. The hints and answers in the back are too brief to be of much use in demystifying those seemingly mysterious and unmotivated tricks needed in particular solution. The author encourages the readers to employ any tool of elementary calculus learned earlier, an understandable choice since it was actually his decision not to introduce an axiomatic development of the subject that would compel the readers to deduce a solution to a problem from 'scratch'. I would highly recommend the book, even for self-study to the mathematical enthusiasts. Those who desire a not-too-formidable introduction to real analysis may find this classic enjoyable.
The book was excellent, starting with the basics of sets and topology and building quickly to the traditional subjects of calculus. I particularly enjoyed the way the author was able to draw attention to the key ideas that come up again and again, the mean value theorem for example. I have never seen a better view of the foundation of calculus, and this book is never leaving my shelf.
This book provides a very readable and insightful account of the material that is usually covered in two semesters of advanced undergraduate courses usually called 'Advanced Calculus' or 'Real Analysis.' Explanations are clear and concepts are well motivated. The problem sets are well-selected, and are do-able after reading the relevant chapters. This book is highly recommended for engineers or scientists wishing to gain a deeper understanding of mathematics, and for math majors preparing for graduate study in real analysis. It is a great book.
This book is extremely well written and comprehensive. It is appropriately approaches the subject and addresses the audience (primarily undergraduates) in an elegant manner with a fair amount of challenging problems, though never overestimates the reader's previous knowledge or background. Time and time again, I've found myself digging back in this book finding more depth and content through each pass. This is by far the best Advance Calculus book I've come across for undergraduates.
I used this text as an undergraduate 30 years ago. It amazes me that there has not been a valid rival published since Buck first appeared more than a half century ago. My students have thrived on it for many years now and I expect it to remain so into the future.
This book is a very good classic introduction to real analysis. It very clearly presents the usual sequence in one-variable analysis and does also good job with multivariable results. Concerning the great theorems of vector analysis (Green, Gauss, Stokes) it follows the classical approach but introduces differential forms without all the technical apparatus which is to be pursued further in books like Spivak's Calculus on Manifolds. The treatment is rigourous but it doesn't neglect computational and numerical aspects. Of course, I intend to proceed up to Rudin's 'hard stone' after Buck. The new edition is a very attractive and not so expensive in comparison to other books on the subject.
I liked the book. The text presented is appropriate for us, even at the undergraduate level. We are able to understand the examples and theories behind advanced calculus and it has helped us in understanding calculus better.
If you have had analysis with Rudin, this book is very weird - no metric spaces, no convergence theorems to speak of, no series - but it does have some very interesting stuff. Buck's explanation of things like open sets, the double integral, the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus are really interesting. If you have the spare change, buy this and really look at it - even better - check it out from the library.
this was the Advanced Calculus text I had as an undergraduate and now I have it back. It brings back many pleasant memories not the least of which is my introduction to differential forms.
This book is one of the better written books on advanced calculus. The diagrams and figures are well done and specific to the examples or concepts being presented. However, this is not for a college student who is trying learn how to solve typical engineering problems. This is a theoretical math book of proofs and identifying limiting conditions, etc. The Exercise problems involve proving bounding characteristics of functions, showing where there is convergence or divergence, and discussing the 'whys and hows' of non-specific surfaces or multiple integrals. You will not be reading about or solving problems involving rolling spheres, projectiles, fluids in motion, planetary motion or the conservation of energy. To paraphrase Jeff Foxworthy, 'If you can solve the exercise problems based on what you read in the previous section, then you are probably a mathematician.' It is still a very well written and organized book - but definitely for the theoretically minded student.
Best introduction to analysis. Good for those interested in geometry
By Klon Jul 08, 2015
One of the best introduction to analysis. Especially good for those are interested in geometry. Some applications for differential geometry are hard to find in other books
Buck's 1st Edition of Advanced Calculus is the best math book I have ever studied.
By W. Holton Mar 12, 2014
Fifty years ago I bought Buck's book because it was my first advanced calculus course. I loved it. My favorite part is an addendum that starts by explaining elementary arithmetic, and it gets better and better from there. I aced the course at the University of Oklahoma. After I moved to California, I aced the course again at UCLA. After that I used Buck's book in numerous math jobs when I was designing various engineering devices, like mass spectral analysis, and self-healing digital communications. I think I better read Buck's later book(s), because I'm about to bury myself in some physics problems.
One of the strong point of this book is that its very easy to follow. The reason for four stars is because I feel as if it lacks organization.
thanks

A Goal Of Creighton Buck: ' An Introduction To Modern Points Of View'
By G. A. Schoenagelon Jan 13, 2018
Yet, another fine textbook providing for yet--another--viewpoint of Advanced Calculus. Not only is the topic of elementary Calculus well-served by a plethora great textbooks, the same can be said for Advanced Calculus ! Absolutely no one has an excuse not to get a first-rate education in elementary and advanced Calculus ! Caveat: You must first acquire a first-rate mathematical foundation in the prerequisites to Calculus. Well, enough of my diatribe, onward to Buck's excellent exposition: (1) New, I suppose 'new' in this endeavor (at least, 1956) is the introduction to Differential Forms. But, you have to wait until the final chapter for it. (And, if it was 'new' then, it was still 'new' in 1969, when Edward's Advanced Calculus book was published--quickly falling into obscurity. Also, Loomis and Sternberg came out one year earlier then Edward's and is pitched at a much higher level.) Buck, then, is truly as elementary as the term implies for an accessible approach within an advanced calculus setting. (2) And, of Topology. My preference (within an advanced calculus text) lies with the sprawling, spiral approach taken by Angus Taylor. Even so, the approach here taken is worthy of consideration. Although brief (fifteen pages), it is lucid. As but one question, we are asked: ' Does an infinite set which is unbounded have to have a cluster point ? ' (Problem #3, Page 11). Then, to sequences, then to functions. (3) If your epsilons and deltas did not get what they deserved in an elementary course, what Buck has offered here (pages 22-30) is crystal clear. And, if anything is wanting, I can only refer the interested reader--again--to Angus Taylor's Advanced Calculus (first edition). (4) Topology (first chapter) led us to functions, limits and continuity (second chapter). These lead--next--to Integration. That's right, Integration. So, if expecting another long detour on derivatives, take your time and absorb Buck's excellent third chapter. I highlight Page 82, an interlude on the Heine-Borel Theorem. The chapter will conclude with material ' considered as introductory to measure theory.' (Pages 99-104). Very nice ! (5) Next, infinite series, uniform convergence, and power series. Concluding this chapter: 'a number of examples which illustrate these theorems and the manner in which they may be used in the evaluation of certain definite integrals.' This on pages 153-163. Of course, we meet Gamma. So, it is, that Chapters Three and Four (from Integrals to series) form a well-rounded doublet. A fine exposition. (6) We return to differentiation, next. Or, rather Linear Transformations (again, much here is replicated in Angus Taylor). Especially to be noted is the discussion of Inverse Functions (beginning Page 200). From there (inverse of one-variable) to here (inverse of transformations), concluding with the Implicit Function Theorem, the reader is delighted at the clarity of exposition. The exercises--follow each section--are straightforward. (7) Sixth Chapter, multiple integrals and elementary differential geometry. (Secure a copy of Goursat's Volume One for more at this level !). We begin with basic survey of Determinants. Why ? Because, in short order, we need it to define multiple integrals and transformations thereof. Curves and Arc-Length follow. Why ? Because Buck will define a curve in terms of transformations (Page 251). This segues to Equivalence Classes ! We read: ' all the curves in any one equivalence class share other geometric properties,' (Page 260). Beautiful introductory material. Another highlight will be Surfaces. This, at intuitive vantage. Why ? Because, as Buck writes, Surface Theory is difficult without more Topology. And, so, the approach is analogous to Curves. Again,determinant, transformations, parametric equivalence (Page 278). A very pretty discussion of extremal properties of several variables concludes the Chapter--that is, fifteen pages. (8) As previously noted, the final chapter, which continues with elementary differential geometry, presents Differential Forms. A quick and painless introduction to the important theorems (divergence, Gauss, Stokes) plus a survey of Maxwell's equations is offered. And, a highlight is the lucid exposition in deriving solution to Poisson's Equation (Pages 372-375) and another go-around with calculus of variations. The Appendix--The Real Number System--should be absorbed. Especially, the chart on Page 391: Here we have a visual from Dedekind, ' every cut is generated by an element' to Cauchy, 'any Cauchy sequence is convergent,' Well, we absorb six equivalent assertions, and those six assertions imply two further assertions, which themselves are subsumed within the 'Archimedian' Definition. Read Pages 387-393. Creighton Buck has presented, yet, another pathway to topics in Advanced Calculus. This is a worth-while addition to the literature of Calculus. Technically, lying between Angus Taylor's (elementary) Advanced Calculus and, Loomis and Sternberg's (more) Advanced Calculus. As a stepping-stone to other (more advanced) tomes, Buck is priceless.
