MATH2011 is a synthesis of calculus and linear algebra, a fundamental course in the mathematics of curves, surfaces and volumes in three-dimensional space. Extending differentiation, integration and Taylor series to space leads to the important concepts of divergence, gradient and curl and culminates in the classical theorems of Green, Stokes and Gauss. This material is crucial to much of engineering and physics, with applications to mechanics, fluid dynamics and electromagnetism.
