Catalogue Description:
This course covers the calculus of several variables and is the third calculus course in a
three-course sequence. Topics include functions of several variables, partial derivatives,
multiple integrals, solid analytical geometry, vector-valued functions, and line and
surface integrals. Upon completion, students should be able to solve problems involving
vectors and functions of several variables.

Course Learning Outcomes:

Upon completion of this course, the students should be able to:

1. Convert between coordinate systems in three dimensions, and recognize and graph
standard equation forms in three dimensions
2. Carry out vector operations to solve practical problems
3. Evaluate limits and study the continuity of vector-valued functions
4. Differentiate and integrate vector-valued functions
5. Solve practical problems involving vector-valued functions.
6. Evaluate the limits and study the continuity of functions of several variables
7. Compute the partial derivatives and multiple integrals of selected functions of several
variables
8. Utilize the techniques of partial differentiation and multiple integration (together with
appropriate technology) to solve practical problems and communicate results
9. Carry out scalar and vector operations on vector-valued functions (gradient,
divergence, curl)
10. Use Green’s Theorem to evaluate line integrals.
11. Evaluate selected surface integrals
12. Evaluate surface integrals using the divergence theorem and Stokes’ theorem

 Topics to be Covered: Duration in weeks
1. CHAPTER 12. VECTORS AND THE GEOMETRY OF SPACE. 2
2. CHAPTER 13. VECTOR FUNCTIONS. 1.5
3. CHAPTER 14. PARTIAL DERIVATIVES. 3.5
4. CHAPTER 15. MULTIPLE INTEGRALS. 3.5

Remarks:
1. Any student who misses 25% of the class will receive DN and consequently the
student will be forbidden from taking the final exam.
2. We emphasize that each student should buy the textbook, if she does not have it, from
the first day of classes because we will use its examples and problems to teach this
course.
3. Students should be in class on time, otherwise they might not be permitted to attend
the class. Mobile phones should be on silent mode.
4. Students should exercise all problems in HW column.
5. If one of the students is absent from one of the exams due to an acceptable excuse by
the Educational Affairs, then the mark will be calculated as a percentage from the total
of the other exams.
6. The requirements to get an IC grade due to being absent from the final exam are: an
attendance of at least 75% of the total lectures, attendance of the first and second
exams and an acceptable excuse by the Educational Affairs.
