Objectives
1. BACKGROUND
Analytic Geometry and the extension of basic concepts of Calculus to functions of several variables (partial differentiation and multiple integrals) are everyday tools in engineering calculations. Topics in Vector Analysis allows the student to understand essential theorems (Green, Divergence and Stokes) which provide the basis for understanding important principles in engineering.
2. SPECIFIC AIMS
- Get acquainted to different coordinate systems;
- Learn about the representation of curves and surfaces in the 3D space;
- Know how to calculate partial derivatives for functions of several variables (either defined by composition or implicit);
- To locate extreme values of functions (unconstrained and constrained);
- Perform double and triple integrals evaluation (in rectangular, cylindrical and spherical coordinates systems) and understand its pratical applications;
- Learn avout Vector Analysis, how to calculate Line and Surface Integrals and understand its pratical applications.
3. PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE
EQ0059: Differential and Integral Calculus; Definite Integrals;
EQ0058: Vector Algebra.
4. PERCENT DISTRIBUTION
Scientific Component (stablishes and develops scientific basis): 80%
Technological Component (apply to design and process operation): 20%
5. LEARNING OUTCOMES
After this couse, the student is able to:
- Use polar, cylindrical and sperical coordinate systems;
- Represent curves (as well as their projection over coordinate plans) and surfaces in the 3D space;
- Calculate partial derivatives for functions of several variables (either defined by composition or implicit);
- Locate extreme values of functions (unconstrained and constrained);
- Calculate double and triple integrals (in rectangular, cylindrical and spherical coordinates) and understand its pratical applications (calculation of area, volume, centroid);
- Understand Vector Analysis, calculate line and surface integrals and understand its pratical applications (calculation of work done by a force and the flux of a vector field).

Eligibility for exams
A positive term grade is attained if (which means admittance to examination):
i) The student misses no more than 25% of total classes without an acceptable justification;
ii) The student attained a positive term grade in the imediate previous school year (2010/11); in this case, students are excused to attend classes and mini-tests;
iii) The student have Term Grade, TG, equal or greater than 5 (on a 0 to 20 scale);
iv) Special cases of working students, military, etc;
The Term Grade , TG, is the arithmetic mean of the two mini-tests grades , T1 and T2: TG = 0.5*(T1+T2).
A positive term grade is mandatory to access final examinations.
Calculation formula of final grade
Final grade (FG) is calculated according to:
if TG > EG : FG= 0.35 TG + 0.65 EG;
if TG <= EG: FG= EG
where EG stands for final examination grade.
