I'd recommend looking at the solutions even if you managed to solve a problem yourself just to see if you could've done it in a better way.Professor: Valentin Zakharevich (You may call me Val)Įmail: Hours: Monday 11am-1pm, Tuesday 2-4pm, Wednesday 8-9pm or by appointment Finally you should actually read a textbook, the one I'm using is Stewart, make sure you attempt as many problems in the book as you can, and use to look at the full solutions. After that I'd recommend watching the MIT multivariable calc lectures to get an understanding of how it's taught at a top institution. Trefor Bazett also has a great Calc 3 playlist which is the most concise and connected of the three that I've mentioned, I'd definitely recommend spending a day going through that as well to tie everything together after completing the first two playlists.
If you're like me though and you need things dumbed down even more I'd recommend going through Professor Leonard's Calc 3 playlist first because the Khan Academy one is a little more abstract and elaborate. It's taught by the 3Blue1Brown guy and unlike on his own channel he actually dumbs things down enough for us average IQ people while still providing both an intuitive and rigorous understanding. If anyone's currently taking calc 3, I can't recommend khan academy's multivariable calc playlist enough.
