MATH 251/501–502 INFORMATION SHEET1 CourseTexas A&M University at Qatar Department of Science/Mathematics Math 251/501–502, Fall 2008Engineering Mathematics III (3-0), Credit 3. The first part of this course covers three-dimensional analytic geometry and vectors.The second part deals with differential calculus of functions of several variables: partial and directional derivatives, gradient, andmultivariable optimization (max/min). The third part covers principles and applications of multiple integration—double and tripleintegrals in rectangular, polar, cylindrical, spherical, and generalized coordinates. The fourth part deals with vector calculus—line andsurface integrals and the principal theorems associated with them. The class meets three times a week in lecture. (There is no recitationor computer laboratory.)
