Multivariable Calculus*

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.

Special Note: A TI-84+ graphing calculator is required.

 *Though internal honors credit is given, the UC does not calculate an honors grade point for this course. Other colleges may assign honors credit.
