Multivariate Calculus
These are lectures captured from Math 231 at Liberty University in Lynchburg VA. Much more for this course can be found at the course website: http://www.supermath.info/MultivariateCalculus.html
This is the third semester in the usual calculus sequence. In a nutshell, we study of vector algebra, curves in 3D including Frenet-Serret equations, limits of several variables, partial differentiation, local extrema, Lagrange multipliers, closed set test, double and triple integrals, Jacobians, curvelinear coordinates, gradients, level curves, line and surface integrals, Green's Theorem, Stokes' Theorem and Gauss' Theorem. Some attention is paid to a few nontraditional topics: we do discuss the general derivative, cylindrical and spherical coordinate frame fields and the formulae for calculation of grad, div, curl and Laplacian in noncartesian setting. Finally, I'll probably include some discussion of differential forms if time permits. Some proofs are given in this course, but, deeper theorems are just sketched. Past this course, for the student who also has some experience with linear algebra, I recommend study of my advanced calculus course if you like my take on calculus III.

Multivariate Calculus: Lecture 1: points and vectors 26:40 here we set the terms R2 and R3 and explain the geometric meaning of xhat, yhat and zhat (other texts call these i, j and k respective due to their historic correspondence with the versors in Hamilton's quaternions). We derive the 3D-distance formula from the 2D-formula and a little picture. Next time, the dot-product ! See http://www.supermath.info/Multivariat... for more resources on multivariate calculus including my lecture notes and oodles of solutions from previous years.
