The Calculus II course was developed through the Ohio Department of Higher Education OER Innovation Grant. This work was completed and the course was posted in February 2019. The course is part of the Ohio Transfer Module and is also named TMM006.

With one input, and vector outputs, we work component-wise.A question I’ve often asked myself is: “How do you know when you are doing a calculus problem?” The answer, I think, is that you are doing a calculus problem when you are computing: a limit, a derivative, or an integral. Now we are going to do calculus with vector-valued functions. To build a theory of calculus for vector-valued functions, we simply treat each component of a vector-valued function as a regular, single-variable function. Since we are currently thinking about vector-valued functions that only have a single input, we can work component-wise. Let’s see this in action.

This is a text on elementary multivariable calculus, designed for students who have completed courses in single-variable calculus. The traditional topics are covered: basic vector algebra; lines, planes and surfaces; vector-valued functions; functions of 2 or 3 variables; partial derivatives; optimization; multiple integrals; line and surface integrals.
