Math 126D

Pluritas non est ponenda
sine necessitate

(Complexity does not have
to be posited unless it is necessary)

Introduction

Math 126, Calculus with Analytic Geometry III, is the third part of the Calculus sequence. The main purpose of this course is to introduce all the important tools of calculus that, for one reason or another, could not be covered in Math 124 or Math 125. We will see the geometry in three dimensions, calculus in two or three variables (continuity, differentials, integrals), and finally the Taylor series.

The two references will be Calculus, by Stewart, Vol. 2, 6th ed., for everything except the Taylor series, and the Taylor Notes (TN), for the very last part of the course.
