NCSSM COURSE CAtAlOG - North Carolina School of Science and ...

Prerequisite: MA480 Vector Functions and Partial Derivatives and permission of
the Dean of Mathematics.
Meeting pattern: Four periods per week.
This is the second half of a university-level course in multivariable calculus. This
course includes the theory and application of multiple integrals and vector
fields. Topics include multiple integrals, the Jacobian and change of variables,
and line and surface integrals. Significant time is devoted to consideration of
Green’s Theorem, Stoke’s Theorem, and the Divergence Theorem. Numerical
methods such as Simpson’s Rule for volumes under a surface and modeling with
vector-valued functions of a vector are included.
MA490, MA492, AND MA494 Advanced Mathematical Topics
One trimester each
Credit: One unit each core mathematics or core elective credit.
Prerequisite: Permission of the Dean of Mathematics.
This course offers an opportunity for students with an especially strong
background in mathematics to pursue a rigorous study of a topic outside the
standard curriculum. The topic chosen may be in mathematics or a
mathematical study of another field. Students are expected to make formal
presentations and to write a paper on the topic. This course is intended for
students who have exhausted the other course offerings in mathematics or who
wish to do independent research in mathematics.
