  Advancement level (A-D): B

Aim:
The course will give basic proficiency in several-variable calculus required for subsequent studies.

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
TATM72 Calculus, one variable and one of TATM18 Linear Algebra, TATM13 Algebra III or TATM31 Algebra M.

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
Lectures and problem classes or classes alone.

Course contents:
Improper integrals. Convergence. Absolute convergence. Numerical series. Convergence. Absolute convergence. Leibniz criterion. Power series. Radius of convergence. The space R^n. Fundamental notions from topology. Functions from R^n to R^p. Function graphs, level curves and level surfaces. Limit and continuity. Partial derivatives. Differentiability and differential. The chain rule. Gradient, normal, tangent and tangent plane. Directional derivative. Taylors formula. Local and global extrema. Extremal problems with side conditions by means of Jacobians or Lagrange method of multipliers. Implicitly defined functions and implicit differentiation. Multiple integrals. Repeated integration. Change of variables. Area, volume, mass and center of gravity. Improper multiple integrals. The course will give proficiency in use of notions and relationships, e.g. ability in establishing convergence of series and improper integrals, finding limits, differentiation of functions with applications to change of variables in derivatives, geometric problems, local and global maxima and minima problems and differentiation of implicitly defined functions, evaluation of double and triple integrals with applications to area, volume and center of gravity problems. Applications will be given of mathematical models from various fields.
