Multivariable Calculus (Physics/Engineering)

Catalog description

This course, which covers roughly the same material as MATH 180, is intended for students with a special interest in physics or engineering. The main topics are: geometry of three-dimensional space; partial derivatives; Lagrange multipliers; double, surface, and triple integrals; vector analysis; Stokes' theorem and the divergence theorem, with applications to electrostatics and fluid flow. Prerequisite: MATH 100, MATH 170, or MATH 190, or advanced placement or written permission . [MATH 200 may not be taken in addition to MATH 180 or MATH 350.]
