Math 234 – 3rd Semester Calculus
Lecture notes version 0.9(Fall 2009)
This is a self contained set of lecture notes for Math 234. The notes were written by Sigurd
Angenent, many problems and parts of the text were taken from Guichard’s open calculus
text which is available at http://www.whitman.edu/mathematics/multivariable/src/
A
The LT X files, as well as the Python and Inkscape-svg files which were used to
E
produce the notes before you can be obtained from the following web site
