Calculus of Several Variables

This calculus course focuses on several variables and is designed for either a one-semester or year-long study. Essential topics include the law of conservation of energy, which connects mathematical concepts to physics. For a one-semester format, the first four chapters are crucial, followed by options to explore maxima and minima or advanced topics like curve integrals and Green's theorem. The structure allows for flexibility in covering key mathematical principles and their applications in varying depths, catering to different course lengths.
