+ | '''MATH 2551''' is a 4 credit core [[Mathematics|math]] class in multivariable calculus. |
||
− | '''MATH 2551''' covers limits, differentiation, and integration of functions with more than one input and/or output. It is a requirement for engineering majors. |

+ | ==Workload== |
+ | Content in MATH 2551 is typically assessed through homework, quizzes, and exams. Homework tends to very time-consuming and focuses heavily on computation. Quizzes and exams also focus more on computation but do contain a couple theoretical questions, often presented in a true/false format. Exam problems are usually shorter than homework problems due to time constraints. |
||
− | MATH 2551 is a core math class focused more on computation than pure theory. Typical problems can be quite lengthy, especially towards the end of the course. |

− | + | Single variable calculus, covered in [[MATH 1551]], [[MATH 1552|1552]], and AP Calculus, is an important prerequisite for MATH 2551. Multivariable calculus applies single variable calculus concepts such as limits, derivatives, and integrals to functions with more than one input and/or output. Multivariable calculus should not be seen as the next course in a linear sequence of calculus courses; rather, it should be seen as an outward expansion of all single variable calculus topics. For example, while no new integration techniques are introduced in multivariable calculus, with the exception of the Jacobian, the concept of integration is extended in multivariable calculus by applying it to 2D and 3D regions in new coordinate systems. |

+ | Although linear algebra, covered in [[MATH 1553]], [[MATH 1554|1554]], and [[MATH 1564|1564]], is listed as a prerequisite for MATH 2551, topics that require ''prior'' knowledge of linear algebra are rarely seen in MATH 2551. For example, while multiple topics in MATH 2551 use vectors extensively, vectors are reviewed at the beginning of the course, making prior knowledge of vectors unrequired. However, linear algebra does provide a more theoretical background for concepts such as the dot product and matrix determinant, which may be helpful for MATH 2551. |

||
+ | MATH 2551 is generally taken sometime between late freshmen year and early sophomore year due to it having a couple prerequisites. Furthermore, MATH 2551 itself is an important requirement and prerequisite for all engineering majors, with the exception of [[Computer Engineering|computer engineering]], which requires MATH 2550 instead. |
