Course Description:
This course covers the basics of vector calculus and analytical geometry. Students will study the differential and
integral calculus in several variables which includes differentiability, directional and partial derivatives, gradient of
functions, Lagrange-multipliers, divergence and curl of a vector, line, surface and volume integrals. Green’s,
Divergence and Stokes theorem.
