(That would be crazy!) They just threw them there because I had credit for them prior to college. I took Diff Eq and Analysis my freshman year only!

Yeah, the MV calc stuff is the standard curriculum. None of the MV calc stuff is taught in BC. I posted a lot on this blog about the course, so you can look through the previous posts for some specifics. (Search “multivariable” and you get a bunch: http://samjshah.com/?s=multivariable)

But here’s something that might at least get you started to see what the course is like. I’ve also posted the problem sets that I made for the students here: http://multivariablecalculus.wordpress.com/

I’m glad you’re excited to get back into teaching!!!

PS. The masters in history was done in 2 years, but I was going for my PhD — after 2 years of working on that I decided I didn’t like being an academic…

Cal 1 and DE at the same time! Cal 2 and Analysis at the same time, too. You obviously had lots of calculus prior to your freshman year at MIT. Anyway, nearly 4 years to complete a Masters in History, that too is amazing in an entirely different sort of way.

I am intrigued that you teach multivariable calculus at the high school level. I presume this includes the usual line integrals, exact vs inexact differentials, div, grad curl and all that, right? Would you share the materials/book/notes/curriculum you use at that level? I don’t recall whether AP BC has all that.

You are an inspiration to me. Can’t wait to start my non-traditional 5th year to get back into teaching!
