MATH 2240 - Theoretical Linear Algebra and Calculus

(MQR-AS)

Spring. 4 credits. Student option grading.

Forbidden Overlap: due to an overlap in content, students will receive credit for only one course in the following group: MATH 1920, MATH 2130, MATH 2220, MATH 2240. For guidance in selecting an appropriate course, please consult First Steps in Math.
Prerequisite: MATH 2230. Designed for students who have been extremely successful in their previous calculus courses and for whom the notion of solving very hard problems and writing careful proofs is highly appealing. MATH 2230–MATH 2240 provides an integrated treatment of linear algebra and multivariable calculus at a higher theoretical level than in MATH 2210–MATH 2220.

Staff.

Topics include vector fields; line integrals; differential forms and exterior derivative; work, flux, and density forms; integration of forms over parametrized domains; and Green’s, Stokes’, and divergence theorems.
