What is multivariable calculus?
It is the study of how to apply calculus to functions of more then 1 variable. It allows us to do the same things we could in two dementions in n dementions. It is closely related to linear algebra.
How is multivariable calculus useful?
I am assuming you understand the distinction between single-variable calculus (calculus of one variable) and multivariable calculus (calculus of several variables). Well, if you know the former, that is highly beneficial because the same techniques are used in the latter -- they are generalized to apply to calculus of n-variables. This is ultimately the goal of single-variable calculus. Why? Well, if you think about it, single-variable is not really applicable. Not many real world phenomena involve one variable. For example, in macroeconomics, GDP = Y is a function of many variables: Consumption (a function of net taxes and income), Investment (a function of real interest rates), Government Spending, and Net Exports. That is, Y=f(C(Y,T), I(r), G, NX). To perform many of the tools of calculus (e.g. finding how Y changes as G increases) to this function, one must know and apply multivariable calculus.
How maths is used in robotics?
These are the general math courses in an undergraduate program of Mechanical Engineering. Actually, these are also the math courses required in ANY undergraduate Engineering curriculum: Algebra Trigonometry Analytic Geometry Differential Calculus Integral Calculus Mutivariable Calculus Differential Equations
Is calculus required for college?
Calculus is not regularly required for college.Specifically, if you want to be certain, every college has its own courses that are mandatory. If calculus is not one of them, you're in. However, as well, if you already have a major, visit the department at the college you are in.Ask the department which courses are required for your major. And that should be all.
What kind of math is used in physics?
One uses calculus including differential equations and vector calculus in the undergrad courses which is as far as got.
