Goals & Objectives
In this course, students will learn to:
- Solve problems, including choosing and developing appropriate methods, as well as communicating mathematical ideas effectively. In this course we will emphasize using results from previous calculus courses solve problems in higher dimensions.
- Use mathematical reasoning and deduction to draw valid conclusions from given information. For example, we will learn to predict properties of surfaces using partial derivatives.
- Use and understand mathematical ideas from multiple and interconnected perspectives, including algebraic, geometric, analytical and numerical points of view. You will have multiple opportunities to analyze problems from analytical, geometric, and numerical perspectives.
- Understand significant mathematical ideas and results in addition to mastering efficient computational techniques. Beyond computational proficiency, we will strive to understand the meaning of our results, as well as encountering some central theorems of mathematics.
In addition to providing you with a good foundation in a fundamental area of mathematics, this course will also contribute to your skills and logical perspective that will be applicable to many other courses requiring mathematical methods and careful reasoning.
