Course Title: Multivariable Calculus Meeting Hours:
Prerequisite: Calculus 1 Semester: Fall 2020

Class Hours: 09:00-12:00 AM (Thu)

Course Objective:

This course aims to master the techniques of calculus in two and three variables, such as finding and
analyzing critical points, and evaluating multiple integrals. More broadly, we will attempt to develop
an underlying geometric intuition that will allow us to understand the problems on a qualitative (as
well as quantitative) level.

Learning Outcomes:
Student should be able to
 Define concepts of point and vector in any dimension.
 Understand dot and cross products and their geometric meaning
 Understand objects in 3D like lines, planes and quadric surfaces etc.
 Understand limit and continuity of function of two variables
 Define derivative of a parameterized curve and illustrate geometric (tangent line) and physical
meanings (velocity vector) with the aid of sketches
 Understand and compute partial derivatives
 Understand definition of directional derivative and gradient and illustrate geometric meanings
with the aid of sketches
 Compute maximum and minimum values for functions of two or more variables with and
without constrained
 Compute double and triple integrals
 Understand and use the three big theorem of calculus (Green’s theorem, Divergence theorem
and Stokes theorem)
