Course Description

This is the third quarter course in calculus for students of mathematics, science and engineering. In this course we learn topics of elementary calculus, but from a multidimensional perspective. The course consists of four parts: 1) Vectors and vector operations; 2) Derivative and integration of vector valued functions of one variable; 3) Derivative (partial) of functions of multiple variables; 4)Integration of functions of multiple variables. It is good habit to do a review by yourself after the lecture finishes each portion.

There will be midterms and a final exam.

The complete course schedule is available.

    Final: Sample1, Sample2 Solutions: S1, S2  

  • No (absolutely) make-up exams. No calculators during the exams.

    • Homework

    There will be weekly homework assignments. Homework should be turned (are due) in at the end of each Tuesday's discussion section. Written homework #n is due in discussion Tu of week #n+1, for n=1, ..., 10.
