Description including Unit Aims

This unit extends elementary calculus to vector-valued functions of several variables to the point where the major theorems (Green's, Stokes' and the divergence theorem) can be presented. The emphasis is on basic ideas and methods; theorems will be stated rigorously and the theory will be carefully developed, but the style is closer to first year calculus than to analysis.
