Course Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
1. Use algebra, geometry, trigonometry, differential and integral calculus skills from prerequisite courses to solve math problems
2. Demonstrate adequate understanding of double and triple integrals including polar, cylindrical and spherical systems; line and surface integrals; several theorems, flux and curl; and application of these topics
3. Use arithmetic and algebra in the evaluation of double, triple, line and surface integrals, and in the calculation of divergence and curl
4. Problems involving volume, surface area, center of gravity, and flux require students to design and follow a multi-step mathematical process through to a logical conclusion and judge the reasonableness of the results
5. Create mathematical models, analyze these models, and, when appropriate, find and interpret solutions in problems involving volume, surface area, center of gravity, and flux
