Hi,

I was just wondering, how difficult is the material in Calc III? So far I've had some pretty good grades in Calc I and II (considering the difficulty of the material). Can somebody describe what you do in Calc III? Is it more Integration techniques? Do you do more on Differentiation or Integration?

Sincerely,

Andrew

Calc III just builds on Calc II for the most part with a few extra things thrown in. In Calc III you integrate in 3 dimensions more than anythng else. So instead of integrating from 0 to 2 on the x axis you might integrate from 0 to 2 on x, 0 to 2 on y and 0 to 2pi if you were working with a sphere. It probably won't be much that you haven't seen before.

You spend a little time with differentiation, but not so much. You take derivavtives to find local max and min but thats about all I remember.

Calc 3 usually covers
1. Series and convergence of series.
2. Polar coordinates
3. Parametric equations
4. Vectors
5. 3-demensional surfaces
6. Spherical coordinates and 3-d polar coordinates
7. Functions of more than one variable
8, Partial derivitives.

In calc III you study multivariable calculus, double and triple integration, vector calculus, line integrals. i might describe it as calc in 3-D. I dont have self assurance there is calc IV. next is diff. equations. or linear algebra. next in calc is progressed calculus for math majors.. in terms of difficulty for me, its harder than calc I yet not as difficult as calc II
