Calculus 3 covers advanced topics in multivariable calculus, including partial derivatives, multiple integrals, and vector calculus.
Engineers and physicists use multivariable calculus to design everything from bridges to airplanes. Calculations involving forces, energy, and materials often require partial derivatives, gradients, and multiple integrals.
In physics, these tools help describe motion, energy, and field behavior in complex systems.
This knowledge is essential for creating safe structures, efficient engines, and new technologies.
