MATH 2230

Theoretical Linear Algebra and Calculus

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2021-2022.

Topics include vectors, matrices, and linear transformations; differential calculus of functions of several variables; inverse and implicit function theorems; quadratic forms, extrema, and manifolds; multiple and iterated integrals.

When Offered Fall.

Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: two semesters of calculus with a grade of A- or better, equivalent AP credit, or permission of instructor.
Forbidden Overlaps Forbidden Overlap: due to an overlap in content, students will receive credit for only one course in the following group: MATH 2210, MATH 2230, MATH 2310, MATH 2940.

Distribution Category (MQR-AS, SMR-AS)

Comments Designed for students who have been extremely successful in their previous calculus courses and for whom the notion of solving very hard problems and writing careful proofs is highly appealing. MATH 2230–MATH 2240 provides an integrated treatment of linear algebra and multivariable calculus at a higher theoretical level than in MATH 2210–MATH 2220. For guidance in selecting an appropriate course, please consult First Steps in Math.
