  2. determine the equation of conics and classify the various types of conics;
  3. parametrize equations and graph them;
  4. integrate and differentiate parametric equations;
  5. find the polar form of an equation and convert back to rectangular form;
  6. graph polar equations;
  7. calculate arc lengths;
  8. graph and perform basic operations with vectors;
  9. graph planes and surfaces and determine their equations;
  10. solve problems related to the properties of planes and surfaces;
  11. convert equations to spherical and cylindrical form and back to rectangular form;
  12. graph, integrate, and differentiate vector valued functions;
  13. work application problems related to vector valued functions;
  14. demonstrate an understanding of functions of several variables including their graphs, continuity, partial derivatives, directional derivatives, gradients, tangent planes, normal lines and extrema;
  15. evaluate multiple integrals;
  16. calculate areas and volumes;
  17. demonstrate an understanding of vector fields and some of their properties including conservativity, potential functions, and line integrals;
