Multivariable Calculus

Catalog description

Students study the concepts of differential and integral calculus extended to multivariable functions. The course content includes vectors; dot products; cross products; surfaces in three dimensions; derivatives, integrals, arc length and curvature for vector-valued functions; partial derivatives; the chain rule; tangent planes; maximum and minimum values of functions of several variables; the Lagrange multiplier method; multiple integrals; and vector calculus. This is the third course in calculus for students majoring in mathematics, physical science, computer science, or engineering. (C-ID MATH 230)
