DESCRIPTION
This course deals with the calculus of functions of several variables.
In particular, we cover:
* parametrized curves and arc length
* planes and lines
* functions of several variables and level sets
* partial derivatives, gradients and directional derivatives
* tangent planes and multivariable Taylor polynomials
* the multivariable chain rule
* the implicit and inverse function theorem
* optimization and optimization under constraints
* 2D integrals, order of integration
* 3D integrals, cylindrical and spherical coordinates
* changes of variables
* vector fields
* line integrals and surface integrals
* parametrized hyper-sufaces and manifolds
* differential k-forms
* (the general) Stokes theorem and the classical integral theorems of
Gauss, Green and Stokes
Contact hours listed under a course description may vary due to the combination of lecture-based and independent work required for each course therefore, CEA's recommended credits are based on the ECTS credits assigned by VU Amsterdam. 1 ECTS equals 28 contact hours assigned by VU Amsterdam.
