Subject:

Description:

4 Credit Hours Fall/Spring Sems. This course is a continuation of Calculus II (MAT 242). Students will use practical problems to develop the concepts of multivariable calculus. Students will gain an appreciation of the possibilities for problem solving when freed from the constraints of modeling with one independent variable. Approximating functions with Taylor and Fourier series, vectors, partial derivatives, directional derivatives, gradients, the differential, methods of calculating multiple integrals, parametric curves and surfaces, vector fields, and their applications will all be approached from the graphical, numerical and analytical points of view. If time permits, line integrals, flux integrals, divergence and curl will be discussed. (4 hours lecture). Prerequisite: Calculus II (MAT 242).
