Calculus

Multivariable and vector calculus — a UG-level foundation not covered by a standalone title in our M.Sc range.

This section is not yet covered by our M.Sc range — the full syllabus is listed below so your preparation stays complete.

Full syllabus — Section 1

  • Functions of two or more variables; continuity; directional, partial and total derivatives; Taylor’s theorem
  • Maxima and minima; saddle points; method of Lagrange multipliers
  • Double and triple integrals; Jacobians and change of variables; applications to area, volume and surface area
  • Vector calculus: gradient, divergence and curl; line and surface integrals; Green’s, Stokes’ and Gauss divergence theorems
Not in our range yet — Calculus (multivariable & vector calculus) as a standalone M.Sc title — not in our range (it is a UG-level foundation).
