Advanced Calculus Extra Credit Suggestions

I would also recommend looking into vector calculus and multivariable optimization as possible project topics. Good luck!In summary, there is an opportunity for an extra credit project in advanced calculus class with a focus on generalizing calc 1-3 to n-dimensional space. The project could potentially involve topics such as partial differential equations, the Inverse Function Theorem and Implicit Function Theorem, as well as vector calculus and multivariable optimization. Good luck with your project!

I have an opportunity to present an extra credit project for my advanced calc class. Basically it's calc 4 with a focus on generalizing everything calc 1-3 to R^n. I've never been presented with this kind of opportunity so I'm clueless as to possibilities. I'm not looking to stun or dazzle the professor but I am a bit behind and could use a project that bumps me up.

Any idea of a direction or what kind of projects I should be looking at?Thanks...

Hi Kevin,
That sounds like an interesting area for a project. If I were going to generalize methods into n-dimensional space, I would expect to be looking at partial differential equations. Maybe consider the Inverse Function Theorem and Implicit Function Theorem. These have interesting n-dimensional expansions.
 

FAQ: Advanced Calculus Extra Credit Suggestions

What is Advanced Calculus Extra Credit?
