Course Learning Objective

  1. Calculate existence or nonexistence of limits, derivatives of scalar fields, and vector fields.
  2. Calculate derivatives using the chain rule.
  3. Optimize non-linear functions using the Lagrange multipliers to compute multiple integrals using the Fubini’s theorem, and by the change of variables.
  4. Parametrize curves and surfaces to find line integrals, surface integrals.
  5. Apply the Green’s, Gauss’, and Stokes’ theorems to find line, surface and volume integrals.
