Advanced Calculus I is all about differentiation of functions of multiple variables in contrast to calculus in which only functions of a single variable is studied. This course consists of two parts: Firstly, the background which includes Euclidean space; straight lines, plane and quadric surfaces; parametric curves. Secondly, differentiation theory which contains partial differentiation, differentiation; curves, surfaces, and hypersurfaces; and unconstrained/constrained extremal problems including the Lagrange multipliers.
Knowledge of calculus and linear algebra comparable to MATH1010 Calculus and 1030 Linear Algebra I respectively is assumed.

The Chinese University of Hong Kong places very high importance on honesty in academic work submitted by students, and adopts a policy of zero tolerance on cheating and plagiarism. Any related offence will lead to disciplinary action including termination of studies at the University. Although cases of cheating or plagiarism are rare at the University, everyone should make himself / herself familiar with the content of the following website:
