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 !

These are the Lectures from my section of Math 231 from the Spring 2017 Semester. While my notes are based on several calculus texts (Stewart, Thomas, Salas and Hille and Etgen etc.) these Lectures follow my notes primarily. I am doing my best to make the notes self-contained so there is no need to purchase additional materials. That said, it's probably wise to get an old edition of Salas and Hille or something for the sake of having many additional homework examples to ponder.
My understanding of multivariate calculus stems in part from my background in physics. I have much higher expectations for what multivariate calculus should encompass. On the other hand, I may spend a bit less time on certain issues of analysis than other math professors. I take up those issues in greater generality in the advanced calculus class (audience permitting).
Topics: vectors, calculus and geometry of paths, Frenet frames, limits of functions of several variables, partial derivatives, chain rules, integration over areas or volumes, optimization, Lagrange multipliers, line integrals, surface integrals, theorems of vector calculus including Green, Stokes and Divergence. Time permitting, the theory of scalar and vector potentials. We also hope to see how to present various constructions in noncartesian coordinate frames.
