If h,k are small f(x+h,y+k) =f(x,y) +(h ∂/∂x+k ∂/∂y)f+(h ∂/∂x+k ∂/∂y)2f/2! +....... Jacobians : The Jacobian matrix is the matrix of all first-order partial derivatives of a vector or scalar-valued function with respect to another vector. Lagrange’s method of undetermined multipliers : Introducing how we use this to find the maximum or minimum value for a function. Polar Coordinates : It is a two-dimensional coordinate system in which each point on a plane is determined by a distance from a fixed point and an angle from a fixed direction. Cylindrical Coordinates : It is an extension of polar coordinates, but we extend it into the third dimension as well. Spherical Coordinates : A spherical coordinate system is a coordinate system for three-dimensional space where the position of a point is specified by three numbers Here are some of the problems in the tutorial which will help you apply the concepts introduced in the tutorials : Easy Problems : 1.
