    Study Notes

    Multivariable Calculus

    • The focus of multivariable calculus is on functions of multiple variables.

    Difference between 1D and Higher Dimensional Spaces

    • In 1D, a limit can be approached from only two directions (left and right), but in higher dimensional spaces, a limit can be approached from an infinite number of directions.
    • An example of the consequence of this difference is that certain functions may have a limit in 1D, but not in higher dimensional spaces.

    Approaching a Single Point

    • The main difference between 1D and higher dimensional spaces is that in 1D, a single point can be approached from only two directions, but in higher dimensional spaces, a single point can be approached from an infinite number of directions.

    Calculus in Three Dimensional Space

    • The special case of calculus in three-dimensional space is often called vector calculus.

    Generalization in Multivariate Calculus

    • The operation of differentiation needs to be generalized to multiple variables in multivariate calculus.
