What's a good book for learning multivariable calculus? I'm studying pure maths so I'd prefer a formal treatment of the subject and I don't know where to start.

Some people have recommended me Spivak's Calculus on Manifolds.

any book that join algebraic topology with management?

Thanks, bruv

Anyone know good book that can get me into grad school?...

If not a good physics grad recommendation would be nice

>>10155036
my fucking sides of ur pic, man

Anyone know of a good chemistry projects book? Was gonna start a thread but saw this one and figured I'd ask here.

In return I'll mention Simon Monk's Hacking Electronics and Programming Arduino Next Steps. Both excellent books for learning a lot about electronics via a hands-on project approach (which I think is important if you're doing self study).

I'm looking for something similar to Monk's books but for chemistry, where it teaches by having you do the actual projects, and having you buy some useful items in the process.
On a related note, is there a popular website for buying chemistry related materials/tools? Maybe something similar to Mouser Electronics or Adafruit? Thanks

Spivak's Calculus on Manifolds is my personal favorite, but it's quite brief, you can also look at Munkres' analysis on manifolds, which covers almost the same topics and is a bit longer.

Some other possibilities good one is Shlomo Sternberg's Advanced Calculus
