I find it frustrating that standard texts on multivariate calculus too often lose the geometric interpretation. Although the geometric approach doesn't prove results, I find it extremely helpful in understanding them.

Yes, and that's exactly what I'm trying to do here...just get a feel for what's going on. (I'm fairly sure that I don't need to understand it at all to do the little bit that is in Further Maths A level, but teaching it without even a basic grasp doesn't sit right with me.)
