This course provides a foundation for the continued study of mathematics and for the subsequent study of the physical sciences, social sciences, and engineering. MA205 covers topics in multivariable differential and integral calculus, vectors and geometry of Euclidean space, vector functions, and vector calculus. Throughout the course mathematical models motivate the study of topics such as optimization, accumulation, change in several variables, and other topics from the natural, social, and decision sciences. An understanding of course material is enhanced through the use of computer algebra systems.
