MA 1023: Calculus III
A course connecting approximation, infinite processes, parametric and polar descriptions, and vector geometry.
Course approach
This page consolidates representative materials across repeated offerings of the same course.
Represent curves flexibly
Parametric and polar descriptions show how representation can simplify geometry.
Prepare for multivariable calculus
Vector algebra, lines, and planes build the language used in Calculus IV.
