19MAT111 Multi Variable Calculus 2 0 02

Course objectives

The course is expected to enable the students

 To understand parameterisation of curves and to find arc lengths.
 To familiarise with calculus of multiple variables.
 To use important theorems in vector calculus in practical problems.

Course outcomes
