Highly recommended for those planning to go to graduate school. This class has newly increased prerequisites, and so will be able to go fairly deeply into this subject. Involves short computer projects. These functions have many beautiful and unexpected properties, as well as many applications, for example in physics. It provides a closer and more rigorous look at material which most students encountered on an informal level during their first two semesters of Calculus.
Students learn how to write proofs.
Since most applications of calculus involve working in more than one dimension, this is essential preparation for graduate level mathematics, and excellent background for graduate study in any science. Involves some computer workshops using software available in high schools. An accessible class. The discussion of the problems and development of the necessary mathematics will be done in the classroom, and then students adjourn to the computers to work out solutions. This is NOT a programming course and no previous experience with computers is required.
