Goal of the Course : The subject “functions of severable variable” is at the core of Mathematics, Physics and Engineering. In Mathematics it provides foundation to the subject of differential geometry and differential equations. Motion of any object (objects) is a natural example of such functions and hence this course provides foundations to Physics and Engineering.
Proposed Course Content :
The space Rn, Geometry of Rn , Linear functions, Review of Linear Algebra
Functions of Several Variable, Continuous functions
Differentiation of functions, Partial Derivatives, Directional derivatives, Chain Rule
Applications
Integration and applications
