Course Information - Class

Role

I served as a Class Monitor (PAD) for this course. My work focused on supporting students outside regular class hours and preparing supplementary course materials.

At Unicamp, PAD (Programa de Apoio Didático) is an undergraduate teaching support program in which students assist course activities under the supervision of the course professor.

Course Overview

This course provides an introduction to multivariable calculus. It covers partial derivatives, the vector form of the chain rule, applications of multiple integrals, scalar and vector line integrals, and the theorems of Green, Stokes, and Gauss.

Syllabus

Functions of several real variables. Taylor’s formula. Maxima and minima. Multiple integrals. Line integrals. Divergence theorem. Stokes’ theorem.
