Course Description: Calculus of functions of several variables: calculus of vector-valued functions, partial differentiation, multiple integrals. 

Textbook & Access Code: The textbook, online quizzes, and additional help materials will be made available by logging into CASA Campus Services (CCS) at https://ccs.casa.uh.edu/ . For more information regarding access to the book, please view the Digital Textbook available through Canvas.

Upon successful completion of this course, students will:

• Perform calculus operations on vector‐valued functions, including derivatives, integrals, curvature, displacement, velocity, acceleration, and torsion.
• Perform calculus operations on functions of several variables, including partial derivatives, directional derivatives, and multiple integrals.
• Find extrema and tangent planes.
• Solve problems using the Fundamental Theorem of Line Integrals, Green's Theorem, the Divergence Theorem, and Stokes' Theorem.
• Apply the computational and conceptual principles of calculus to the solutions of real-world problems.

[Additional course curriculum details: Advanced topics in calculus, including vectors and vector-valued functions, partial differentiation, Lagrange multipliers, multiple integrals, and Jacobians; application of the line integral, including Green’s Theorem, the Divergence Theorem, and Stokes’ Theorem.]
