Honors Mathematics III

(4 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This is a two semester sequence integrating linear algebra and multivariable calculus, intended for students with a strong interest in and aptitude for math. Topics covered include algebra and geometry of vectors and linear transformations; continuity, differentiation and integration for functions of several variables; and various applications of all these things. Material will be covered in substantially greater depth than in similar courses (e.g. Calculus 3), with strong emphasis on both computation and careful mathematical argument (i.e. proofs). Honors Calculus 1 and 2 (Math 10850/60 is the normal prerequisite for Honors Calculus 3 and 4, but highly motivated students with exceptionally strong mathematical backgrounds may request permission (from the director of honors math) to skip the earlier sequence and enroll directly in Honors Calculus 3.
