Below are links to chapters of the text that did not get into the published text, either because of concerns about the length of the text, the level of the material or because the author just had not finished those chapters in time.

 

 

Some General Comments and Warnings:

 

1)  Much of the material in these extra chapters assume that the reader has a basic knowledge of linear algebra and multivariable calculus, such as covered in a standard introductory course in linear algebra, and the standard "calc. III" course.  (This is not assumed in the published text.)

 

2)  The answers to the exercises are at the end of the chapters.

 

3)  Material may be added, modified or removed at the author's whim.

 

4)  Beware of tpyos and dumb mistookes!  Much of what's below was written hastily and at odd hours, and was not adequately proofread.  Some of the chapters "preliminary versions" and are not complete.  If you find what you believe to be an error in any of these chapters, please let the author know (see below).  It would be appreciated if you included " DE Text - Extra Chapters " in the subject line of your email.

 

5)  This material is not in the public domain, and is protected by the copyright laws of the United States.  Viewers of this site have the author's permission to download and use the material being made available here for their personal study.  You, the viewer, may download files, print a few chapters for your personal use, and have links to this website, but please, do not otherwise republish this material without the author's permission.
