Overview
MATH 2551 is a 4 credit MATH core class with a linked studio period. It is an enhanced version of MATH 2550 that adds a couple of extra chapters.
Topic List
All topics exclusive to MATH 2551 are marked with an (*):
- Vectors
- 3D Geometry
- Quadric Surfaces
- Polar, Cylindrical, and Spherical Coordinate Systems
- Vector-Valued Functions
- Multivariable Limits and Continuity
- Partial Derivatives, Directional Derivatives, and Gradients
- Multivariable Function Analysis and Optimization
- Double and Triple Integrals
- Line and Surface Integrals (*)
- Green's, Gauss', and Stokes' Theorems (*)
How it fits in the curriculum
MATH 2551 is generally taken in late first-year, early second-year, as it requires and uses both Linear Algebra and Calculus topics. Furthermore, it is an important prerequisite for nearly all engineering majors (except Computer Engineering), as all of these majors have at least 1 class that has MATH 2551 as a prerequisite.
Current Registration Info
MATH 2551 is a linked course, as it has a studio. You must register for a lecture section (marked with a single letter A, B, C, etc.), and its corresponding studio section (e.g. if you are in Section C, you must register for studio sections that start with C, like C01, C04, etc.). You must register for both of these at the same time.
Prerequisites
All of the Following:
- D or higher in MATH 1552 or a 4+ on AP Calculus BC.
- D or higher in MATH 1553, MATH 1554, or MATH 1564.
Equivalent Courses
MATH 2561 is an honors version, and goes over the topics in MATH 2551 at a much higher level (along with a few extra topics).
Majors That Require This Class
- All College of Engineering Majors except Computer Engineering
- Applied Physics
- Biochemistry
- Chemistry
- Earth and Atmospheric Sciences
- Physics
