MATH131
- Multivariate Calculus/Lecture
A continuation of calculus (MATH120, 121, 122 or MATH124, 125). Multivariate calculus uses linear algebra to extend the important concepts of single-variable calculus to higher-dimensional settings. Topics include scalar-valued and vector-valued functions, graphs, level sets, limits and continuity; partial derivatives, gradients, tangent planes, differentiability, total derivatives, directional derivatives; paths, velocity,
acceleration, arclength, curvature, vector fields, divergence, curl; extrema, Hessians; multiple integrals,
change of variables, Jacobians; line integrals, Green's theorem; surface integrals, Stokes' theorem,
and Gauss's theorem. Prerequisites: MATH122 or MATH130.
