Objective of the course: To expose the students to the calculus of two or more variables – Limits,
continuity, Partial Differentiation and differentiability. Concepts of Surface, Area, Volume through
multiple integrals. Line integrals and eventually Stokes’ and Divergence Theorems.
Skill development of the student expected from the course: Understanding the concept of
limits, continuity, differentiability and integration for functions of two or more variables; capability
to analyze and solve problems in integral calculus and vector calculus effectively.
Contents
• Functions of two or more variables: Definition, Region in a plane, Level curves, Level sur-
faces, Limits, Continuity, Partial derivatives, Differentiability, Gradients, Directional deriva-
tives, Tangent planes and normal lines, Extreme values and saddle points, Lagrange multipliers.
(Sections 14.1-14.3,14.4 (Theorems 5,6),14.5-14.8 in [1])
• Integral Calculus: Double Integrals, Areas, Double Integrals in Polar Form, Triple Integrals in
Rectangular Coordinates, Triple integrals in Cylindrical and Spherical coordinates, Substitu-
tions in Multiple Integrals. (Sections 15.1-15.5, 15.7-15.8 in [1])
• Vector Calculus: Line Integrals (exclude “mass and moment calculations”), Vector Fields,
Work, Circulation and Flux, Path Independence, Potential Functions and Conservative Fields,
Green’s Theorem in the Plane, Surface Area and Surface Integrals, (exclude “mass and mo-
ments of thin shells”), Parametrized Surfaces, Stokes’ theorem (without proof), The Divergence
theorem (without proof), (exclude Gauss’s Law of Electromagnetic Theory and the Continuity
Equation of Hydrodynamics). (Sections 16.1-16.8 in [1])
