MULTIVARIABLE CALCULUS

This part of MA101 course will enable you to

Relate Mathematics to the real world.

Use Mathematics as a tool in Engineering.

Emphasis will be more on

The physical interpretation of the

mathematical expressions.

 The Vector Cross Product

let there be a vector orthogonal to a and b =<c1,c2,c3>. Now take dot product with a and
b.And derive c1,c2,c3 using the formula for solving two linear equation in terms of parameter.
