Multivariable Calculus

• • Topics will be available to enrolled students in the subjects Learning Management System site approximately one week prior to the commencement of the teaching period.

You must either have successfully completed the following subject(s) before starting this subject, or currently be enrolled in the following subject(s) in a prior study period; or enrol in the following subject(s) to study prior to this subject:

• UNE-MTHS120-Calculus and Linear Algebra 1

• UNE-MTHS130-Calculus and Linear Algebra 2

Please note that your enrolment in this subject is conditional on successful completion of these prerequisite subject(s). If you study the prerequisite subject(s) in the study period immediately prior to studying this subject, your result for the prerequisite subject(s) will not be finalised prior to the close of enrolment. In this situation, should you not complete your prerequisite subject(s) successfully you should not continue with your enrolment in this subject. If you are currently enrolled in the prerequisite subject(s) and believe you may not complete these all successfully, it is your responsibility to reschedule your study of this subject to give you time to re-attempt the prerequisite subject(s)

Others

To enrol in this subject you will need to pass UNE-MTHS120 and UNE-MTHS130 subjects. Please note as UNE results are released after the close of enrolment date, your enrolment into this subject will be withdrawn if you do not receive a satisfactory result for UNE-MTHS120 and UNE-MTHS130.

  Students are expected to purchase prescribed material.

  Textbook requirements may vary from one teaching period to the next.

Multivariable calculus has diverse applications across many fields, from modelling and studying dynamic systems in engineering and social science, to analysing and forecasting stock market activity.  This subject builds on your understanding of the basic concepts of single variable calculus, generalising these concepts to functions of two or more variables.  Focusing on both theoretical and technical aspects, you will explore basic geometrical topics on curves and surfaces in relation to multivariable functions. You will also examine limits and continuity, differentiability and partial derivatives, inverse and implicit mapping theorems, multivariable Taylor formula, extreme values, double and triple integrals, line integrals and the integral theorems.  Applying your knowledge to fluid dynamics and using the principles of multivariable calculus, the unit will help you to fine tune your ability to solve complex real-world mathematical problems.
