| Prerequisites: Math 155
Frequency: Fall/Spring Terms
Credit: (4-2)5
Content: Complex numbers. Vectors, lines and planes in space,
scalar and vector products. Vector valued functions. Space curves. Functions
of several
variables: Limit, continuity, partial derivative, directional
derivative. Tangent plane. Extreme values. Method of Lagrange multipliers.
Multiple integrals.
Cylindrical and spherical coordinates. Line, surface integrals.
Green's Theorem. Gauss' and Stokes' Theorems.
Goals: Calculus was first discovered to meet the needs of the
scientists of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Diferential calculus
deals with the problem of calculating rates of change. It enables us to
define slope of curves, to calculate velocities, accelerations of moving
bodies and to predict the times when planets would be closest together
or farthest apart. Integral calculus deals with the problem of determining
a function from information about its rate of change. It enables us to
calculate the future location of a body from its present position, to find
the areas of irregular regions in the plane, to measure the lengths of
curves, and to find the volumes and masses of arbitrary solids. The goal
of this course is to present a modern view of calculus enhanced by the
use of technology.
