- Math 240 (3 credits): Differential and integral calculus of functions of
several variables and of vector fields. Topics include Euclidean, polar, cylindrical, and spherical
coordinates; dot product, cross-product, equations of lines and planes; continuity, partial derivatives,
curves, directional derivatives, gradient; optimization in several variables; multiple integrals, iterated integrals,
change of coordinates, Jacobians, general substitution rule.
- Math 242R (1 credit): Surfaces, parametrizations,
line integrals, surface integrals; circulation, flux, divergence; conservative, solenoidal
vector fields; scalar, vector potential; Green, Gauss, and Stokes theorems.
- Math 242 (4 credits): All topics covered in Math 240 and Math 242R.
