MTH 261 - Multivariable Calculus

4 Credits
Offered Fall
Continuation of the sequence begun in Calculus I and II. This introductory multivariable calculus course covers differential, integral and vector calculus for functions of more than one variable. Topics include vectors, lines, planes, curves, and surfaces in 3 dimensional space; limits, continuity, and differentiation of multivariable functions; gradient, chain rule, linear approximation, optimization of multivariable functions; double and triple integrals in different coordinate systems; vector fields and vector calculus in 2 and 3 dimensional spaces, line integrals, flux integrals, and integration theorems generalizing the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (Green’s theorem, Stokes’ theorem and the divergence theorem).
