MATH 7385 - Concepts of Multivariable Calculus

(4) Study of the teaching of multi-variable calculus. Covers multi-variable calculus including three-dimensional analytic geometry and vectors, quadratic surfaces, arc length and curvature, limits and continuity, partial derivatives and their applications, tangent planes, optimization problems and Lagrange multipliers, multiple integrals, vector fields, line and surface integrals, Green’s theorem, Stokes’ theorem, the divergence theorem. Particular attention is paid to visualization and geometry. This course will not be counted as credit for a graduate program in Mathematics except the Masters of Science in Mathematics with a concentration in the Teaching of Mathematics. PREREQUISITE(S): Permission of instructor.
