This is the first part of a theoretical (i.e., proof-based) sequence in multivariable calculus and linear algebra, providing a unified treatment of these topics. Covers general vector spaces, linear maps and duality, eigenvalues, inner product spaces, spectral theorem, metric spaces, differentiation in Euclidean space, submanifolds of Euclidean space as local graphs, integration on Euclidean space, and many examples. The linear algebra content is covered jointly with Math 61DM. Students should know 1-variable calculus and have an interest in a theoretical approach to the subject. This series provides the necessary mathematical background for majors in all Computer Science, Data Science, Economics, Mathematics, Natural Sciences, and Engineering. Math 61CM is considered equivalent to Math MATH 51, and credit will not be granted for both courses.
