(Briefly) Grading: 20% each prelim, 40% final, 20% homework/quizzes Evening Prelims: Tu Sep 30 and Tu Nov 4. (Please send email about any conflicts by Fri Sep 12.) No Late Homework: But Grading Notes Files for excuses and explanations. Homework Quizzes: Not intended to be pressing. Primarily to confirm people are not just copying solutions from the internet, etc.
, Graphs Domain U R n : The places where f (x 1, x 2,..., x n ) is defined.
, Graphs Domain U R n : The places where f (x 1, x 2,..., x n ) is defined. Range of a Function: The values actually assumed.
, Graphs The graph of a function f : U R 2 R is actually a set; namely {(x, y, f (x, y)) : (x, y) U}
, Graphs Level Curve of f (x, y): A subset of the plane R 2 where f takes on some value.
, Graphs Level Curve of f (x, y): A subset of the plane R 2 where f takes on some value. Level of f (x, y, z): A subset of space R 3 where f takes on some value.
, Graphs Horizontal sections of the graph of f (x, y) are intersections of the graph with z = f (x, y); Marsden refers to them as level curves lifted up to the graph.
, Graphs (Vertical) sections are intersections of the graph with coordinate planes like the xz or yz plane, as well, or any other vertical plane (e.g. y = kx for some constant k or y y 0 = k(x x 0 ).)
Paraboloid z = x 2 + 4y 2
Contour Curves of f (x, y) = x 2 + 4y 2
Hyperbolic Cylinder x 2 z 2 = 4 A level surface of f (x, y, z) = x 2 z 2.
Hyperboloid x 2 + y 2 z 2 = 4 A level surface of f (x, y, z) = x 2 + y 2 z 2.

Intuition: lim f (x, y) = L (x,y) (a,b) means that as (x, y) gets close to (a, b), the function values get close to L.
Intuition: lim f (x, y) = L (x,y) (a,b) means that as (x, y) gets close to (a, b), the function values get close to L. As in the 1 variable case, the value of f (a, b) (or its undefinedness) does not affect the existence of the limit. If the limit coincides with the value of f (a, b), we say f is continuous at (a,b).
Theorems (see pages 95 and 98) say that rational operations (as long as you don t divide by zero) preserve limits and continuity. For example: Theorem: If lim (x,y) (a,b) f (x, y) = L 1 exists and exists, then lim (x,y) (a,b) g(x, y) = L 2 0 lim (x,y) (a,b) f (x, y) g(x, y) = L 1 L 2 (And in particular the limit of the quotients exists.)
Or Theorem: If f (x, y)and g(x, y) are continuous on a domain U f (x, y) with g(x, y always nonzero, then is also continuous on g(x, y U.
What about the corresponding statements for compositions?
Does the following limit exist? If so its value? lim (x,y) (0,0) xy x 2 + y 2
Does the following limit exist? If so its value? lim (x,y) (0,0) xy x 2 + y 2 Approach 1: Think about behavior along the axes; along lines y = kx in the domain.
Does the following limit exist? If so its value? lim (x,y) (0,0) xy x 2 + y 2 Approach 1: Think about behavior along the axes; along lines y = kx in the domain. 0 along the x-axis, but 1 2 along the line y = x shows non-existence.
Does the following limit exist? If so its value? lim (x,y) (0,0) xy x 2 + y 2 The point is that limits, if they exist are unique. So finding two different paths through (a, b) along which the function approaches different values shows non-existence.
Does the following limit exist? If so its value? lim (x,y) (0,0) xy x 2 + y 2 Polar coordinates are another approach. The function simplifies sin 2θ to for r 0 which definitely depends on θ; so we have 2 non-existence.
Does the following limit exist? lim (x,y) (1,1) x 2 y 2 x y
Does the following limit exist? If so its value? lim (x,y) (0,0) xy x y
Does the following limit exist? If so its value? lim (x,y) (0,0) x 3 2 y x 2 + y 2
Does the following limit exist? If so its value? lim (x,y) (0,0) sin (x 2 ) + y 2 x 2 + y 2
Show that f (x, y) = is continuous for all (x, y). x 2 cos (xy)
