Course Description


MATH 2230 Theoretical Linear Algebra and Calculus (MQR)

Fall. 4 credits. Prerequisite: two semesters of calculus with grade of A– or better, or permission of instructor. Due to an overlap in content, students will receive credit for only one course in the following group: MATH 2230, MATH 2210, MATH 2310, MATH 2940.

MATH 2230–2240 provides an integrated treatment of linear algebra and multivariable calculus designed for students who have been highly successful in their previous calculus courses. The material is presented at a higher theoretical level than in 2210–2220. Topics in 2230 include vectors, matrices, and linear transformations; differential calculus of functions of several variables; inverse and implicit function theorems; quadratic forms, extrema, and manifolds; multiple and iterated integrals.
