1. Course Description: The course is intended as a basic course in calculus of several variables and
vector analysis. It includes polar coordinates, convergence of sequences and series, partial
derivatives, vector calculus with theorems due to Green, Gauss and Stokes.

2. Scope and Objective of the Course: A course in Multivariate Calculus encompasses an extensive
examination of calculus principles applied to functions of multiple variables, covering topics such
as partial derivatives, multiple integrals, vector calculus, and theorems like Stokes' theorem and
the divergence theorem. The scope includes understanding functions of several variables,
computing partial derivatives, evaluating multiple integrals over regions in two or three
dimensions, and applying vector calculus concepts to fields like physics and engineering.

Objectives of the course include mastering techniques for differentiation and integration in multiple
dimensions, developing problem-solving skills for real-world applications, understanding
fundamental theorems and concepts, and fostering geometric visualization abilities to interpret
multivariable functions and their properties effectively. Ultimately, students gain proficiency in
using multivariable calculus as a powerful tool for analyzing and solving complex problems across
various disciplines.
