Lecture Details :

We discuss extreme values and critical points of functions of two variables and show how to calculate them. Plenty of examples are presented. Such ideas are important in max/min problems and optimization.

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.
