5 hours. The calculus of several variables, solid analytic geometry, and series. Prerequisite: MA209

Upon successful completion of this class, students will be able to:

• Describe lines and planes using vectors in two and three dimensions.
• Describe curves in space using vector functions.
• Describe the motion of objects in space with vector-valued functions
• Apply basic ideas of differential calculus to functions of several variables, including finding partial derivatives, tangent planes, directional derivatives, maximum and minimum values, etc.
• Extend the basic ideas of integral calculus to functions of two and three variables using double and triple integrals.
• Apply double and triple integrals to find volumes, surface areas, masses, and centroids of solid regions.
• Compute line and surface integrals.
• Solve applied problems in the sciences using line and surface integrals.

Draw connections between line and surface integrals and single, double, and triple integrals through the higher-dimensional versions of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus: Green’s Theorem, Stokes’ Theorem, and the Divergence Theorem
