Math 323
Semester: Spring 2024
Job Title: Adjunct Lecturer
Course description: This course is dedicated for students whose goal is to develop theoretical and practical skills for multivariable calculus. Specifically, students are expected to be able to demonstrate the following:
Visualize geometry in three-dimensional space
Find and apply vector and scalar equations of lines and planes in three-dimensional space
Understand the calculus of vector-valued functions
Solve unconstrained and constrained optimization problems
Find and interpret partial derivatives, directional derivatives, and gradients
Set up and evaluate double and triple integrals in rectangular, cylindrical, and spherical coordinates
Set up and evaluate line and surface integrals in addition to applying Green's, Stokes', and Divergence Theorem
Math 224 and 225
Semester: Fall 2023
Job Title: Adjunct Lecturer
Course description: This course is intended for setting and building up the foundation of differential and integral calculus, and some of their applications in the real world. Math 224 is the Differential Calculus and Math 225 is the Integral Calculus.
Math 226 and 227
Semester: Spring 2023
Job Title: Adjunct Lecturer
Course description: The main goal of this course is to continue the development of differential and integral calculus started in Math 224 and 225, including specific topics which have been found to be valuable for applications in many other fields. Students will be introduced to new classes of functions including the exponential functions, logarithm functions, and inverse trigonometric functions. Students are then taught how to apply the techniques of Calculus (differentiation and integration) to those functions. The method of L'Hopital's Rule will be taught for dealing with certain limits. Various techniques for integration will be taught (integration by parts, trigonometric integrals, trigonometric substitutions, partial fractions, and improper integrals). They are taught several applications of integration, including: finding the length of arc of a curve, finding the area of a surface of revolution (even when the equations are given in parametric form, in rectangular or polar coordinates).
Math 227 starts with the study of polar coordinates and curves in polar coordinates. Then the students are taught infinite sequences and series, and methods for investigation of their convergence are taught (the integral test, the comparison tests, the ratio and root tests, alternating series, absolute convergence and power series). Methods of representing functions as power series with a radius of convergence are taught, as well as the Taylor series representations of a given function.
The course material is vital to the study of Calculus III and Differential Equations, and is very useful in many other courses in the Department of Mathematical Sciences and in other departments (e.g., Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Economics).
