Lecture Details :
I present an example where I calculate the derivative of a function of two variables in a particular direction. In particular, I take the derivative of $f(x,y) := 1 - x^2/2 - y^4/4$ in the direction of the vector ${bf u} := (1,1)$.
I solve the problem and also talk about the geometric meaning of the directional derivative.
Such an example is seen in second year university mathematics.
Course Description :
Topics covered will include important aspects of applied mathematics used in engineering, such as: multivariable calculus; vector calculus; differential equations; Laplace transforms; Fourier series.
