He describes torsion as "wobbling" which to me gives the wrong idea. My only complaint here is in the discussion of torsion. I still give this text a 5 for comprehensiveness. In discussing multivariable continuity, it would have been nice to pull out the two path discussion which appears in the text and highlight it as a theorem, but these are all minor points. Some of my favorite examples were missing: e.g., the cycloid and deriving Kepler's laws from Newton's laws, but everybody has their own favorites so I am okay with that. The development was clear enough that I hope most students at this level could get it. I liked the development of differential forms towards the end and having chapter 11 as a teaser for higher level stuff.
