Multivariate Calculus Model Course Units

A user of this material should locate appropriate units below that fit their particular course in multivariate calculus.

Instructions for importing problem sets Instructions for exporting problem sets

Within each Unit below, specific problem types should be described. Detailed problem descriptions are given by clicking on the unit title.

Complete problem sets for each unit will eventually be collected and made available from this site (and perhaps from within the WebWork system itself) but these have not been made available yet. Also, the specific problems suggested could be directly linked if desired although this might be a bit too much!

``Future Work: A rubric needs to be developed that helps instructors determine the hardness level of a particular problem.``

  • Development Workgroup: Mei Qin Chen, Dick Lane and John Travis
  • To Do:
    • Finish choosing problem sets for remaining units
    • Add features to problems to include:
      • Hints
      • Solutions
      • MetaTags
      • Improvements such as changing multiple choice problems to fill in the blank, etc.
