Upon completing this course the successful Calculus III student will accomplished the following:
Use Green's Theorem.
- Graph and find the equation of a line and plane in space.
- Graph and find the equations of surfaces in space such as cylinders and quadric surfaces.
- Convert between rectangular, cylindrical and spherical coordinates.
- Differentiate and integrate vector-valued functions.
- Find the unit tangent vector and principal unit normal vector of a smooth curve and use to find the arc length .
- Find the tangential and normal components of acceleration for a smooth curve.
- Describe graphs, level curves and level surfaces of functions of several variables and evaluate limits of functions of several variables.
- Discuss the continuity and differentiability of a function of several variables.
- Find partial derivatives, directional derivatives, gradients and differentials of functions of several variables and use them to solve applied problems.
- Find equations of tangent planes and normal lines to surfaces.
- Use the chain rule for functions of several variables (including implicit differentiation).
- Find extrema of functions of several variables using the second partials test and Lagrange multipliers and solve applied problems.
- Evaluate iterated integrals and use them to find the area of plane regions.
- Evaluate multiple integrals in rectangular, polar, cylindrical and spherical coordinates and use them to solve applications involving volume.
- Use a Jacobian to change variables in multiple integrals.
- Identify conservative fields.
- Find the curl and divergence of a vector field and the flux of a field through a surface and solve applied problems.
- Evaluate line integrals and solve applied problems.
- Identify when a line integral is independent of path and use the Fundamental Theorem of Line Integrals.
