Assignment 02

This document contains 12 tutorial problems related to multivariable calculus concepts such as limits, continuity, partial derivatives, directional derivatives, extrema (maxima and minima) of functions. The problems involve analyzing functions for these properties and concepts at points or on surfaces in 2D and 3D space. They also involve optimization problems with constraints.
