Description
This module introduces students to the theory, practice and application of calculus of several variables. The module builds on the first-year module on calculus of one variable. Students will learn how to differentiate and integrate functions of several variables, and how the interplay of differentiation and integration leads to the integral theorems. The module teaches essential know-how and skills to understand more advanced methods in analysis in general and in probability in particular.
