Multivariable-Calculus-Study

  • This project shares QSD's Multivariable Calculus Study files.
  • The project follows University of Oxford's Prelims Multivariable Calculus courses, with lecture notes and problem sheets available here: https://courses.maths.ox.ac.uk/node/43944.
  • The project majorly includes re-organising lecture notes to separate markdown files plus merging some additional materials from other sources.
  • The project works fine with obsidian.
