Course Outline - Calculus II (MT 202) - Fall 2023
Pre-Requisite(s): MT 101
Office Hours: Posted outside office door of course instructor. Also by appointment.
Course Introduction
This course is continuation of MT 101 course. The main objective of the course is to make students proficient in techniques and
skills of multivariate and vector calculus. The emphasis will be on application of learned techniques to the solution of problems
of science and engineering. The students will learn necessary mathematical skills with an understanding of basic concepts and
a working knowledge of applications. It is hoped that, on completion of this course, the students will be trained enough to apply
these mathematical tools to solve problems in their area of specialization.

Administrative Instructions
• According to institute policy, 80% attendance is mandatory to appear in the final examination.
• All quizzes/examinations will be closed book. No calculators will be allowed.
• In any case, there will be no retake of scheduled/surprise quizzes.
• Assignments must be submitted as per instructions given by the course instructor or mentioned in the assignments.
• Students may work on home assignments in collaboration with each other, but they must submit their own work; no
copying from others. Violation of this will adversely affect their quiz/exam results.
Computer Usage
Students are encouraged to solve some assigned homework problems using the available software such as Mathematica and
MATLAB.
