Software for Multivariable Calculus

Catalog description

This course will introduce students to a computer algebra system and programming language of use in understanding multivariable calculus. Assuming no prior experience with this software, the students will learn how to evaluate algebraic expressions, plot functions and perform many operations common in calculus, such as integration and differentiation. Students will develop skills with this software that are useful for the visualization and manipulation of multivariable and vector-valued functions. Offered infrequently. Coreq: C- or higher in MATH 311.
