Math 209, Fall 2020 Assignment 1

This math assignment covers several multivariable calculus problems: finding domains and evaluating limits of multivariable functions; determining differentiability, linearization, and a normal line to a surface; and approximating a number using a linearization. Students are instructed to show their work and that unsupported answers may lose marks. The problems range from evaluating limits to finding linearizations to approximating values using linearizations.
