I'm considering two books to learn vector calculus at a level beyond that presented in standard calculus textbooks such as Thomas' or Stewart's, and more applied than a very rigorous text like Munkre's manifolds. Which one covers more advanced topics? Which one is more rigorous? Which one is more applied?

Marsden's or Colley's Vector Calculus?

  • For what it's worth, the Amazon reviews heavily favor Colley's text. I myself used Colley's text and thought it was great. – Ben Grossmann Dec 16 '16 at 23:36

Marsden's is a great textbook.

I used it for my multivariable calculus course and was of great help, lots of examples as well as applications in diverse fields!
