MATH 240 Multivariable Calculus

3 Credit(s)

Differential and integral calculus of functions of several variables. Topics include Euclidean, polar, cylindrical, and spherical coordinates; dot product, cross-product, equations of lines and planes; continuity, partial derivatives, directional, gradient; optimization in several variables; multiple integrals, integrated integrals, change of coordinates, Jacobians, general substitution rule. Please note: Because MATH 240 is the third part of the calculus sequence, it should be taken as soon as possible after MATH 141. Note: No student receives graduation credit for MATH 240 if it is taken after successfully completion of MATH 242. Students may take MATH 242 after MATH 240 only with explicit permission of the Department, and then only for one credit.
