MATH 202

This course focuses on functions of several variables, analytic geometry, and their utility. It starts with a review of area and arclength in polar coordinates, and lines and planes in space. The course covers cylindrical and spherical coordinates, quadric surfaces, vector-valued functions, and arclength and curvature of space curves. Topics in this course also include differentiation of functions of several variables, tangent planes and linear approximations, the chain rule, minima/maxima, and Lagrange multipliers. Lastly, the course covers double and triple integrals, applications, and change of variables in multiple integrals.
