Course Information
Description
Mathematics 22 covers multivariable calculus and linear algebra for students interested in mathematical sciences. It covers the same topics as Mathematics 21, but does so with more rigor. Students are taught techniques of proof and mathematical reasoning. The workload and content is comparable with the Mathematics 21 sequence. But unlike the latter, the linear algebra and calculus are more interlinked. The content of Math 22a is mostly aligned with Math 21b (linear algebra), and the content of Math 22b is mostly aligned with Math 21a (multivariable calculus).
