Multivariable Calculus for Engineers

Subject	Course No.	Credit Value
Math	MATH 2513	Four (4) credit hours

Almost all math-related problems in engineering and science are more complicated than the ones we have seen in single variable calculus. The objects in nature usually are affected by many other objects. In other words, we need to represent them by multivariable functions. In this course, we deal with such problems, with more sophisticated tools to compare to the usual derivative and integral we practised in first-year calculus.
