Calculus III Assignment 3 Fall 2023

This document contains: 1. An assignment from the Coordinate Geometry course at United International University for Fall 2023, due on December 09. It contains 5 problems involving curve and surface analysis in Cartesian, cylindrical, and spherical coordinate systems. 2. The first problem involves finding the length of a curve, reparametrizing the curve with respect to arc length, and analyzing tangent/normal/binormal vectors and curvature. 3. The second problem involves finding the equation of a tangent plane to a parabolic elliptic surface and using linearization to approximate a value. 4. The third problem involves finding the gradient field on a spherical surface and calculating directional derivatives at specific points. 5.
