Multivariable Calculus (H)
Students begin by reviewing topics from AP Calculus BC, covering differential and integral calculus of a single variable. Students receive more in-depth instruction on advanced related rates, solids of revolution (including shell method), and advanced integration techniques. The principal topics of this course are the differential and integral calculus of several variables and their application to scalar and vector fields. Course content includes calculus of vector valued functions, partial derivatives, min-max problems of functions of several variables, and double and triple integrals. This course is a second year university level course.
Note: A student who fails the 1st Semester of the course will NOT be permitted to continue in the course 2nd Semester.
Special Note: A TI-84+ graphing calculator is required.
