Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
Apply calculus skills to solve problems with confidence, persistence, and openness to alternative approaches. Understand and interpret the graph and flow of a vector field. Interpret and communicate the concepts to circulation, flux, divergence, and curl of a vector field. Apply calculus skills to set up problems that require line integrals, and multiple integration. Apply, explain, and interpret Greens Theorem, Stokers Theorem, and the Divergence Theorem. Use appropriate technology to solve calculus problems.
