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' and Divergence Theorems. This is an accelerated version of Calculus III for Science and Engineering that covers fewer topics and applications.

Course Objectives

Students completing the course should be able to use partial differentiation and Lagrange multipliers to solve max/min problems for functions of several variables. They should be able to set up and solve integrals over two- and three- dimensional regions. They should be able to compute path integrals and surface integrals using Green's theorem and Stokes' Theorem appropriately to simplify these calculations.
