Summary

This comprehensive multivariable calculus course uses state-of-the-art Wolfram Language functionality for the computation and visualization of concepts, making this elegant body of mathematical knowledge easy and fun to learn. Multivariable calculus extends the notions of limits, derivatives and integrals to higher dimensions. It also considers constrained and unconstrained optimization problems and explores the three great theorems of multivariable calculus: Green's theorem, Stokes' theorem and the divergence theorem. Learning multivariable calculus is the first step toward advanced calculus and follows single-variable calculus courses. Master this difficult but highly applicable branch of mathematics and be equipped to perform modeling and regression analysis in economics, engineering, data science and other fields.

Featured Products & Technologies: Wolfram Language (available in Mathematica and Wolfram|One)
