Course Description
The first part of this course regards the study of infinite sequences
and series. The latter portion pertains to the study of vectors,
multidimensional geometry, and multivariable calculus. Students
with a solid background in Math 21A/B should find this course both
interesting and understandable. The material covered in this
course is essential for further study of multivariable calculus,
including integral theorems (Gauss, Stokes). Applications in
physics, chemistry, and biology are widespread. The department's
syllabus
can be found here.
My syllabus can be found here.
