Sean Dineen taught for many years at University College Dublin where he is now an emeritus professor. He is the author of many research articles and monographs and of a number of successful and popular textbooks including: Analysis; A Gateway to Understanding Mathematics (World Scientific, 2012) and Probability Theory in Finance: A Mathematical Guide to the Black-Scholes Formula (AMS, Second Edition, 2013).
“The book is very useful for those who wish to learn the theory properly. … the book is very clearly written–the theory is nicely presented with important topics being well explained and illustrated with examples. … Each chapter begins with an outline of its content, and ends with suitably constructed exercises, with solutions given at the end of the book. … it is also an excellent reference text on multivariate calculus and the basics in differential geometry.” (Peter Shiu, The Mathematical Gazette, Vol. 100 (547), 2016)“A textbook aimed at undergraduate mathematics students. … The text is accompanied with a large number of figures and explanatory text. Each chapter is concluded by a collection of exercises of both routine and more theoretical nature. The textbook is written in a readable way, especially it is one of rare cases of multivariate calculus texts consequently linked to the geometric roots of the subject.” (Vladimír Janiš, zbMATH 1312.26001, 2015)
