MATH 2210 Calculus III

Calculus, one of the classical topics in mathematics, is the study of change. It is useful both in scientific fields and in applied studies from engineering to the life sciences. The primary goals of this course are to master the fundamental concepts and techniques of differential and integral calculus in more than one variable, and to develop problem solving and critical thinking skills. Prerequisite: Completion of MATH 2205. (5 lect.)
