Multivariable Calculus
MATH 222 SP

This is a course on the differential and integral calculus of functions of several real variables. Among the areas covered are scalar- and vector-valued functions of several variables and their derivatives; chain rule; maxima, minima and saddle points; Lagrange's multipliers; integration of functions of several variables; Green's theorem; surface integrals; Stokes's theorem; divergence theorem. This course will have special emphasis on developing geometric intuition.

COURSE FORMAT: Lecture/Discussion

REGISTRATION INFORMATION

Level: UGRD    Credit: 1    Gen Ed Area Dept: NSM MATH    Grading Mode: Graded   

Prerequisites: NONE

SECTION 01

Major Readings

To be announced.

Examinations and Assignments

Two or three one-hour exams; regular homework; quizzes, final examination and Mathematica labs.

Additional Requirements and/or Comments

The course will use Mathematica labs to help develop geometric intuition.

The course has no prerequisite. However, knowledge of calculus equivalent to MATH121 and MATH122 or equivalent to achievement of 4 or 5 on an AP calculus exam is expected. MATH221 (01) will require students to attend a lab on Tuesday evenings sometime during the hours of 7:00 - 10:00 p.m.

Unless preregistered students attend the first class meeting or communicate directly with the instructor prior to the first class, they will be dropped from the class list. NOTE: Students must still submit a completed Drop/Add form to the Registrar's Office.
