 Module Objectives

أهداف المادة الدراسية

 

The objectives of this class are to develop a solid understanding and proficiency in several key mathematical concepts. Firstly, students will learn about polar coordinates and their applications, including the representation of polar curves and the calculation of area in polar coordinates. Secondly, they will explore the principles of vectors, lines, planes, and surfaces, gaining the ability to manipulate and analyze these geometric entities. Additionally, the class will cover cylindrical and spherical coordinates, providing students with the tools to describe and work with objects in three-dimensional space.

 

Furthermore, students will delve into the realm of functions of two and three variables, studying topics such as limits, continuity, and partial derivatives. This knowledge will enable them to evaluate directional derivatives and solve optimization problems by identifying extrema of functions with multiple variables. The class will also introduce the concept of double integrals, teaching students how to calculate them in both rectangular and polar coordinates and apply them in the context of area and volume calculations.

 

Lastly, the course will cover triple integrals and their applications, with a focus on cylindrical and spherical coordinates. Students will develop proficiency in evaluating triple integrals and utilizing them for problems involving volumes and mass calculations. By the end of the class, students will have acquired a solid foundation in these mathematical concepts and be equipped with the necessary skills to apply them in various fields of study.

Note: Marks Decimal places above or below 0.5 will be rounded to the higher or lower full mark (for example a mark of 54.5 will be rounded to 55, whereas a mark of 54.4 will be rounded to 54. The University has a policy NOT to condone "near-pass fails" so the only adjustment to marks awarded by the original marker(s) will be the automatic rounding outlined above.
