Students who successfully complete this class should be able to:

  1. Apply basic convergence tests for series.
  2. Represent functions as a power, Maclaurin, or Taylor series.
  3. Apply calculus techniques to parametric equations.
  4. Find areas and arc lengths in polar coordinates.
  5. Perform vector operations, including dot and cross products.
  6. Find equations of lines and planes in three-space.
  7. Find derivatives, integrals, velocity, acceleration, arc length, and curvature of vector functions.
  8. Calculate partial derivatives and apply to find tangent planes, linear approximations, extrema, and saddle points.
