MAT 322

Welcome to MAT 322

This course develops in depth the calculus on smoothly curved subspaces of Euclidean space. By the end of the course, we will have covered both differentiation and integration on manifolds, realized as submanifolds of Euclidean space.

This requires building on the topics covered in multivariable calculus on domains in Euclidean space and so a solid grounding in MAT 203 (Multivariable Calculus) and MAT 211, MAT 310 (Linear Algebra) and MAT 320 (Analysis in 1 dimension) will be important. Without this backgrond, it will be hard to follow the pace of the class.

This is a rigorous class with an emphasis on new concepts and proofs.
