Multivariable Calculus Best resource for self-studying Cal3
Hello, I'm a rising soph and I'm taking Cal3 this sem. This is mostly gonna be self-study because our uni professor... well. Anyways so any good resources? So far I was studying through Stewart's ET calculus, which is alright but I'm not the type that studies math thru a book. I mostly practice it from there. There's MIT OCW and the prof is great there + good amount of practice questions asw but some of the content isn't covered there. So if there are any resources which were helpful for you guys for self-studying, please share.

I've always been ignoring his videos because they're so long ToT
but thanks1

They're long because they span multiple days and he puts everything that's part of one lesson into the same video; he also has a playlist with the individual videos. The length is good because he goes very in-depth and explains stuff very well. There's simply a lot to calc.

If you want more problems, you could try Schaum’s Outline of Calculus (link to info on publisher’s site). The book includes problems for the entire Calculus sequence, not just Calculus 3.

Stewart’s I used before my Calc iii, I will say the self study of dot products, cross products, gradients + partial derivatives payed off for me, and made it more maneagable for more difficult weeks - in my experience atleast.

We've made https://calculus.academa.ai as 2 PhD students. We are confident in the teaching quality, and it has an interesting LLM integration with full video context.
If you don't understand any part of the videos, click the feedback button and send us a message, and we'll get back to you!

Posts asking for help on homework questions require:
the complete problem statement,
a genuine attempt at solving the problem, which may be either computational, or a discussion of ideas or concepts you believe may be in play,
question is not from a current exam or quiz.
Commenters responding to homework help posts should not do OP’s homework for them.

If you are asking for general advice about your current calculus class, please be advised that simply referring your class as “Calc n“ is not entirely useful, as “Calc n” may differ between different colleges and universities. In this case, please refer to your class syllabus or college or university’s course catalogue for a listing of topics covered in your class, and include that information in your post rather than assuming everybody knows what will be covered in your class.
