To see how calculus applies in practical situations described by more than one variable, we study integration over curves, surfaces, and solid regions using different coordinate systems; parameterization of curves and surfaces; vectors, lines, and planes; partial derivatives and the gradient; constrained and unconstrained optimization; divergence and curl of vector fields; and the Green’s, Stokes’s, and Divergence Theorems.There will be required workshops Tuesdays.

Recommended Prep: Mathematics 1b or an equivalent background in mathematics.
