Abstract
Vector Calculus is a critical tool for analyzing changing quantities that depend on more than one variable. We live in a three-dimensional world and often utilize a fourth dimension, time. Scientists, mathematicians, economists, sociologists and experts in many other disciplines need to understand geometry in three or more dimensions and be able to broaden the range of applications to which they may apply calculus. We will study three-dimensional and higher coordinate systems, vectors and their properties, and learn how to generalize concepts such as limits, the derivative, and the integral to vector-valued functions. We will see applications of these ideas that parallel those of single-variable calculus.
The content of this course will follow much of what is presented in your text in Chapters 13-15, with part of 16, which include geometry and graphing in three dimensions, vectors, lines and planes, vector-valued functions, limits and continuity, differentiation and integration, partial derivatives, double integrals, velocity and acceleration and other applications.
