Course Description:

This course is the third semester in the standard calculus sequence for students majoring in mathematics, engineering, and the physical sciences. The prerequisite is MATH 141 or 141H at UMCP or equivalent advanced placement or transfer credit from elsewhere. Some background in physical sciences (at the level of high-school physics) is useful but not required. Whereas first-year calculus deals basically with functions of one variable and their graphs in the plane, this course deals with calculus of functions of two or more variables and of vector functions or vector fields in three-dimensional space. The course also covers multiple integrals, volume, surface area, and the classical theorems of Green, Stokes and Gauss. We will also discuss some physical applications.


Exams Dates:



MATLAB:

There are some MATLAB assignments, to be handed in discussion session. The assignments and their due dates are posted on the course web site MATLAB assignments will be posted on the course web site and collected during discussion sections by the TAs. Late assignments will never be accepted.
You are free to use either one of the university computer labs or your own personal computer to complete the assignments.

For an introduction to Matlab, you can consult this brief introduction to Matlab.

For information on software, tutoring and computer labs locations and hours, see the Math. Dept. resources page
In particular, Matlab is available in the computer lab in Math 0203.

The department is offering free Matlab tutoring: See the Matlab tutoring schedule
