Course ID: | MATH 2500. 3 hours. | Course Title: | Accelerated Calculus III for Engineering Students | Course Description: | Calculus of functions of two and three variables: Parametric
curves, derivatives, gradient, Lagrange multipliers. Multiple
integration, area, volume, polar, cylindrical, and spherical
coordinates. Line integrals and Green's Theorem. Introduction to
surface integrals and Stokes's and Divergence Theorems. This is
an accelerated version of Calculus III for Science and
Engineering that covers fewer topics and applications. | Oasis Title: | Calculus III for Engineering | Duplicate Credit: | Not open to students with credit in MATH 2270, MATH 2270H, MATH 2500E | Prerequisite: | MATH 2210 or MATH 2260 or MATH 2310H or MATH 2410 or MATH 2410H | Semester Course Offered: | Offered fall, spring and summer semester every year. | Grading System: | A-F (Traditional) |
| Course Objectives: | Students should understand the concept of continuity and
differentiability in two and three variables. They should be
able to calculate partial derivatives, directional derivatives
and gradients. Students should be able to solve maximum and
minimum problems using Lagrange multipliers. Students are
introduced to multiple integrals and are expected to be able to
calculate volumes and areas using multiple integrals. They are
expected to understand and apply Green's theorem. | Topical Outline: | 1. Review of vector algebra and geometry.
2. Parametric curves, velocity, acceleration.
3. Partial differentiation: directional derivatives, gradients,
tangent planes, chain rule, maximum/minimum problems, and
Lagrange multipliers.
4. Multiple integration: double and triple integrals, change of
order of integration, applications to computations of areas,
volumes, and physical applications as time allows. Polar,
cylindrical, and spherical coordinates.
4. Line integrals, work, path-independence, and Green's Theorem.
5. Brief survey of surface integrals and flux, curl, divergence,
Stokes's and Divergence Theorems. | |
