EXCERPT: PREFACE In 1977 the first edition of my book Calculus was published. It, like the second edition that followed, contained a comprehensive introduction to the calculus of one and several variables. Many instructors suggested that since a large number of students stopped after studying one variable calculus, a shorter version of my text should be available. To meet that need, Academic Press published Calculus, Part I in 1981. This one-variable calculus text contains the first fourteen chapters of the main book. The original plan was to publish, simultaneously, a second "short book" containing the last seven chapters of the main text. Most first year calculus courses cover similar material. However, I soon found that this was not the case for the second-year course. Some schools cover only multivariable calculus in the second year. Others include some linear algebra, some differential equations, or both. Thus, we made the decision to write Calculus, Part II so as to make it usable in a wider variety of courses. The goal has been to retain the flavor of Part I while making a large number of traditionally "post-calculus" topics accessible to sophomores...
