Howard Community College

Calculus & Analytical Geometry III/Multivariable Calculus, Math 240

 

Course Description (from the College):  Students will develop skills necessary to conclude the calculus sequence. The course includes vector calculus in both two- and three-dimensional space along with the classical theorems of Green, Stokes, and Gauss. It will also include partial derivatives and multiple integrals along with a number of appropriate applications. A graphing calculator and MATLAB, a computer algebra system, will be integral parts of the course. Prerequisite:  MATH-182 or equivalent with a grade of C or higher.
