Viewing videos requires an internet connection
Video Description: Herb Gross introduces Calculus Revisited II — Functions of Several Variables — and discusses the over-arching theme “The Game of Mathematics”. A game has objectives, rules, and definitions as well as strategies (logical plans) for meeting the objectives of the game. A mathematical structure is identical with the objective being to model real-world experience.
