We will cover chapters 11-14 of the textbook, which include
most of the basic topics of calculus
of several variables:
limits, two types of derivatives, several types of integrals,
and a theorem which goes by several names
(Green's Theorem,
the Divergence Theorem, and
Stoke's Theorem are the three that
you can find in the table of contents). As a prerequisite for
these calculus topics, Chapter 11 covers algebra and geometry
in several variables. Note that we will
not discuss Chapter 10,
Infinite Sequences and Series,
which is covered in Math 232. We will concentrate on
really
understanding calculus concepts,
and not just on doing enormous numbers of problems. Problems are
important, of course, but not for their own sake: they are important
because doing problems is one way to build up your intuition and
understanding of the basic concepts.
Your grade will be based on the following factors:
