Objectives |
This course is continuation of Calculus I and
it aims to provide more insight to advanced mathematical techniques in
engineering. Topics covered are: Functions of several variables, partial
derivatives, free and constrained extrema. Tangent plane, extreme values,
method of Lagrange multipliers, Multiple integrals and applications,
cylindrical and spherical coordinates. Sequences, improper integrals,
infinite series of constants, power series and Taylor's series with
applications. Prerequisite: MATH 153. |

Rules |
Attendance is an essential requirement of this
course and is the responsibility of the student. Class begins promptly and
you are expected to be present at the beginning and at the end of each class
session. |

Notes |
Homework problems are the best preparation for
exams. You should try to work the homework problems without constant
reference to the text or passively receiving help from others. We encourage
discussing problems with others, but you should try to do the actual problems
yourself. If you have gotten the idea about how to solve a problem from
another person or by looking things up in the text, try to do a related
problem without outside aid. |
