Are integrals used in Calc 3?

Are you ready for Calculus 3? Most importantly, Calc 3 encompasses limits, derivatives, and integrals so all of these concepts that you previously learned in Calc 1 and Calc 2. So that means you already have all the math skills necessary to succeed.

What topics are covered in calculus 3?

The algebra and geometry of vectors.

Multivariable functions.

Derivatives of vector-valued functions and Partial Derivatives.

Applications: tangent planes, max/min, optimization.

Double and triple integrals.

Applications: volumes, arclength, curvature, center of mass.

Fundamental Theorem of Multivariable Calculus.

What can you do with line integrals in calculus?

With Line Integrals we will be integrating functions of two or more variables where the independent variables now are defined by curves rather than regions as with double and triple integrals. We will also investigate conservative vector fields and discuss Green’s Theorem in this chapter.

Which is an example of an interesting integral?

One pair of integrals they might find interesting is ∫π / 2 0 cos2xdx and ∫π / 2 0 sin2xdx. These integrals can be evaluated two different ways. Use double angle formulas to find the antiderivatives.

What are some examples of integration in calc 2?

So far we have covered trig functions, logarithmic functions, and exponential functions, but not inverse trig functions (though we will get to this soon so those would be fine too). We have covered u -substitution. Thinks like integration by parts, trig substitution, and partial fractions and all that are covered in Calc 2 where I teach.

Which is an easy integral with a trick?

Here is an easy integral with a trick. The key is to make the substitution y = 1 / x and notice that when you’re done, after renaming variables, you end up with the (highly similar) integral ∫ y3 (1 + y)(1 + y6)dy Now add the integrals together, and cancel the 1 + y term, leaving a tractable integral under the further substitution z = y3.
