• Construct parameterizations of elementary curves and curved surfaces. Apply the parameterization of a curve to determine its arc length.• Being able to work with cylindrical and spherical coordinates, and to apply these formulas in the construction of parameterizations.• Understand the concept of functions of two or more variables, and the connections between the function description, the graph of the function, and its level curves/level surfaces.• Investigate whether a function of two or more variables is continuous in a given point.• Determine and apply (first and higher order) partial derivatives of a function, e.g. in the determination of the tangent plane to the graph or the Taylor polynomial around a given point. Being able to apply the chain rule.• Understand and apply the concepts of gradient and directional derivative, e.g. for the investiation of the graph of a function and of its level curves.• Determine double and triple integrals by iterated integration. Understand how to choose a convenient coordinate system from the following options: Cartesian coordinates, polar/cylindrical coordinates, spherical coordinates. Know the corresponding correction terms.• Determine the line integral of a function along a curve in two- or three dimensional space and find the corresponding correction term.• Determine the surface integral of a function over a parametric surface and find the corresponding correction term.• Understand the notions of a vector field and of a conservative vector field.
