The concepts of single-variable calculus are extended to higher dimensions by using vectors or variables. Topics include the following: vector geometry and the analytic geometry of lines, planes and surfaces; calculus of curves in two or three dimensions, including arc length and curvature; calculus of scalar-valued functions of several variables, including the gradient, directional derivatives and the Chain Rule; Lagrange multipliers and optimization problems; double integrals in rectangular and polar coordinates.
Prerequisite: MATH 123 or 124 or equivalent; MATH 130 for EECE Year 2 students
Corequisite: MATH 212 recommended if MATH 130 not previously completed
