Description:

08F: 10, 11, 12 09W: 12, 2 09S: 11 09F, 10W, 10S: Arrange This course is a sequel to Mathematics 3 and is appropriate for students who have successfully completed an AB calculus curriculum in secondary school. Roughly half of the course is devoted to topics in one-variable calculus: techniques of integrations, areas, volumes, trigonometric integrals and substitutions, numerical integration, sequences and series including Taylor series. The second half of the course generally studies scalar valued functions of several variables. It begins with the study of vector geometry, equations of lines and planes, and space curves (velocity, acceleration, arclength). The rest of the course is devoted to studying differential calculus of functions of several variables. Topics include limits and continuity, partial derivatives, tangent planes and differentials, the Chain Rule, directional derivatives and applications, and optimization problems including the use of Lagrange multipliers. Prerequisite: Mathematics 3 or equivalent. Dist: QDS. Weber, Vatter, Vatter (fall), Elizalde, Vatter (winter), Mainkar (spring).
