EB201 – Calculus II

Professor's Assistant (PED-B), University of Campinas, Institute of Biology, 2021

Course Information - Class A

Role

I served as a Professor’s Assistant (PED-B) for this course. My work included leading weekly problem-solving sessions, holding student support hours outside regular class time, and assisting with grading.

At Unicamp, PED (Programa de Estágio Docente) is a graduate teaching internship program through which graduate students support undergraduate instruction under faculty supervision.

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.
