General Math 175 pages that contains information relevant for all
sections of this course is math175.
This course is an introduction to the calculus of functions of several
variables. It begins with studying the basic objects of
multidimensional geometry: vectors and vector operations, lines,
planes, cylinders, quadric surfaces, and various coordinate systems. It
continues with the elementary differential geometry of vector functions
and space curves. By the end of the course, the student should be able
to analyze curves and surfaces in three-space, differentiate and
determine any extrema of functions of two or more variables, evaluate
double and triple integrals in various coordinate systems.

Written and web homework
will be assigned
every week. Students are expected to read the corresponding sections of
the book and do the assigned homework in order to gain a better
understanding of the course material. The written part of
homework will not be
collected or graded but web homework score will be used towards the
final score.
Bi-weekly quizzes of approximately 10 minutes will be given on Fridays
and they
will be based on homework exercises.
In this course, an introduction to Matlab will be made, a technical
computing environment for numerical computation and visualization
produced by The MathWorks, Inc.
We will study basic commands, how to visualize functions and symbolic
computation.
There will be four in class "midterm" exams and a final. Before each
exam, we will have a review session.
