Have you noticed how Multivariable Calculus is split into two, even though it isn't split in two in a typical college curriculum?

I'd like an answer to that.

Because obviously, a single half can't count for credit at a college. Moreover, it's only a few chapters at the end of a standard calculus textbook.

ROFL, Partial Derivatives is at lecture 35!! Before that, it's vectors/parameterizations/surfaces

Anyways, there are alternatives. Holy crap, CTY has multivariable now:

My old catalogs didn't have it. I want to magically become younger. Aggh!!

How good are you at math? You might find the courses at http://www.artofproblemsolving.com more rewarding. I wish my parents weren't so stingy.
