Multivariable calculus is an important mathematical topic that studies functions of several variables from a calculus-based perspective (limits, continuity, differentiation, and integration). The course may be taken as follows:
- It is typically taught after single variable calculus in college. In colleges with semester systems, the course is often labeled Calculus 3, whereas in colleges with quarter systems, it may be labeled Calculus 4.
- Some students who intend to major in mathematics may not take a separate multivariable calculus course but may see it as part of an analysis course.
- Students who finish AP Calculus in 11th grade (junior year) may see it in 12th grade (senior year) in school (see our high school mathematics page for more details on the typical course sequences taken by high school students).
