Course overview and goals
After preparations about elementary functions, this course with recitation focuses on the theory and applications of partial differentiation and multiple integrals of multivariate function.
The aim of this course is to provide fundamental knowledge about multivariate calculus, which will be a basis of
science and engineering.
Course description and aims
The first aim is to understand basic facts which are required for every student in science and engineering. Based on calculus for functions of one variable at the high-school level, this course deals with basics and applications of partial differentiation and multiple integrals of multivariate functions.
Keywords
Multivariate functions, partial differentiation, multiple integral
Competencies
- Specialist skills
- Intercultural skills
- Communication skills
- Critical thinking skills
- Practical and/or problem-solving skills
