On successful completion of this module, students will be able to:
apply the basic theory of convergence of sequences and series to
a range of examples;
calculate partial derivatives involving
algebraic and transcendental functions (including
trigonometric functions, exponential, logarithm, hyperbolic functions
and inverses);
apply the standard results and concepts concerning
differentiation in
a number of appropriate contexts (such as graphical or geometric
interpretations of tangents, critical points,
linear approximation,
solving simple linear differential equations);
compute double and triple integrals by application of Fubini's
theorem or use change of variables;
use integrals to find quantities defined
via integration in a number of context (such as average,
area, volume, mass).
Module Content
These details may be varied somewhat in the current year.

Differentiation of curves, tangent lines in 2 or 3 dimensions.
Graphical representation of functions of 2 or 3 variables.
Patrial derivatives, gradients, direction derivatives, tangent planes to graphs and level surfaces.
Linear approximation for functions of 2 or 3 variables, chain rule.
Linear and exact differential equations.
Double and triple integrals, computation via iterated integrals (Fubini theorem).
Double integrals in polar coordinates.
