cross product; equations of lines and planes.
2. Vector Functions. Vector functions and space curves; derivatives and integrals of
vector functions; arc length and curvature; normal, bi-normal and tangent vectors.
3. Partial Derivatives. Functions of several variables; limits and continuity; partial
derivatives; tangent planes, linear approximations and Taylor's theorem; the chain rule;
directional derivatives and the gradient vector.
4. Maxima and Minima. Critical points, local max/min values, second partials tests;
unconstrained problems on infinite domains and bounded sets; constrained optimization
and the method of Lagrange multipliers.
5. Double Integrals. Double integrals over rectangular domains; iterated integrals and
interchanging order of integration; double integrals over general regions; change of
variables and the Jacobian; double integrals in polar coordinates; applications of double
integrals including center of mass and moment of inertia.
