MATH 11 Accelerated Multivariable Calculus
This briskly paced course can be viewed as equivalent to MATH 13 in terms of prerequisites, but is designed especially for first-year students who have successfully completed a BC calculus curriculum in secondary school. In particular, as part of its syllabus it includes most of the multivariable calculus material present in MATH 8 together with the material from MATH 13. Topics include vector geometry, equations of lines and planes, and space curves (velocity, acceleration, arclength), limits and continuity, partial derivatives, tangent planes and differentials, the Chain Rule, directional derivatives and applications, and optimization problems. It continues with multiple integration, vector fields, line integrals, and finishes with a study of Green's and Stokes' theorem.
Students who have successfully completed a BC calculus curriculum in secondary school may complete multivariable calculus either by taking the two term sequence MATH 9 and MATH 13 or by completing the single, faster-paced, MATH 11. Not open to students who have received credit for MATH 013.
