Prerequisite(s): Within the last three years: MAT 231  with a grade of C or better.
Gen-Ed: Meets AGEC - MATH; Meets CTE - M&S.

2.   Use partial derivatives to analyze rates of change of multivariable functions in a variety of contexts.

3.   Evaluate double and triple integrals of multivariable functions in a variety of coordinate systems.

4.   Evaluate line and surface integrals in vector fields using a variety of theorems and techniques.

2.   Determine equations of lines and planes in space, and identify and classify quadric surfaces.

3.   Evaluate limits, derivatives and integrals of vector-valued functions; analyze motion along a curve; and calculate the unit tangent vector, the unit normal vector, and the curvature.

4.   Evaluate limits, determine continuity, and calculate partial derivatives of multivariable functions; apply the chain rule and use implicit differentiation; calculate directional derivatives and gradient vectors; find equations of tangent planes; determine extrema and saddle points; and use Lagrange multipliers to find constrained maximum and minimum.

5.   Evaluate double integrals in rectangular and polar coordinates; convert between rectangular, cylindrical, and spherical coordinates; evaluate triple integrals in rectangular, cylindrical, and spherical coordinates; and use double and triple integrals to calculate volumes.

6.   Determine if a vector field is conservative and find a potential function; evaluate line integrals of real-valued functions and vector fields; evaluate surface integrals of real-valued functions and vector fields; and use Green’s Theorem, Stokes’ Theorem, and the Divergence Theorem to evaluate line integrals and surface integrals.
