Class Description

M408D is the second course in UT's standard first-year calculus sequence. It is directed at students in the natural and social sciences and at engineering students. The emphasis in this course is on problem solving, not on the presentation of theoretical considerations. While the course necessarily includes some discussion of theoretical notions, its primary objective is not the production of theorem-provers. M408D contains a treatment of infinite series, and an introduction to vectors and vector calculus in 2-space and 3-space, including parametric equations, partial derivatives, gradients and multiple integrals.
