4 points · 26 lectures and 26 support/practice classes · First semester · Clayton/Caulfield · Prerequisite: ENG1902 · Corequisite: ENG1603 · Prohibitions: MAT2902, MAT2910, MAT2941, MAC2901

Objectives At the completion of this subject, students will understand the key concepts of multivariable calculus; have developed skills in the evaluation of both vector calculus operators and multiple integrals; understand the conditions under which techniques are applicable; understand the use of Fourier series for periodic functions; be able to solve typical partial differential equations.

Synopsis Vector analysis: gradient, divergence and curl. Integration: line and multiple integrals including integration over curves, surfaces and solids. Fourier series: periodic functions and trigonometric series, Euler formulue, even and odd functions, half-range expansions.Partial differential equations: separation of variables for the heat, wave and Laplace equations.
