Multivariable Calculus Online is adapted from the textbook Calculus: A Modern Approach by Kevin Shirley and Jeff Knisley.

Development of Multivariable Calculus Online was funded in part by National Science Foundation grant DUE-9950600.

Many of the applets and images were prepared with Javaview, an excellent web-based visualization tool which is free for download and can be used with Maple 6 through 9.

Additional applets were prepared with LiveGraphics3d, an excellent complement to Mathematica featuring parameterized graphics.

Sections written in LaTeX2e and converted to html with TTHGold. Final editing was performed with Microsoft Frontpage and Eversoft 1stPage2000.

A special thanks to my wife, Debra, for all her support, suggestions, guidance, and encouragement.
