Abstract
- This paper discusses a project designed to enhance students' knowledge of the basic techniques that are taught in a sophomore Multivariable Calculus course. The skills covered in this project are parametric equations, dot and cross products, arc length, and the curvature of two and three-dimensional curves. In addition to the discussion of the project, this paper also describes the process of creating such a project, the challenges encountered, and finally, the project's success.
