Multivariable Calculus Course Description This course covers differential, integral and vector calculus for functions of more than one variable. These mathematical tools and methods are used extensively in the physical sciences, engineering, economics and computer graphics. The materials have been organized to support independent study.

18.02 Multivariable Calculus Catalog description: Calculus of several variables. Vector algebra in 3-space, determinants, matrices. Vector-valued functions of one variable, space motion.
Scalar functions of several variables: partial differentiation, gradient, optimization techniques. The course 18.02 Multivariable Calculus is a General Institute Requirement (GIR); every MIT student must pass this class in order to graduate. The first third of the course is dedicated to briefly covering some basic linear algebra.
The rest of the course covers the traditional multivariable calculus topics including vectors and matrices, partial derivatives, double and triple integrals, and. This course covers differential, integral and vector calculus for functions of more than one variable.
