I would love to take multivariable at Foothill, but Im pretty sure that htey dont offer it.

I searched [their class schedule](Class Schedule) for Summer 2006 under Mathematics, for example, and I got two classes that together sound like what’s covered in a usual multi-variable calculus class.

MATH 1C CALCULUS 5 Units
Introduction to functions of more than one variable, including vectors, partial differentiation, the gradient, contour diagrams and optimization. Additional topics include infinite series, convergence, Taylor and Fourier series.
Five hours lecture, one hour terminal time.
Prerequisite: MATH 1B.
0701 MATH-001C-01 LEC 10:30AM-12:50 MTWTh FRANCISCO 5402
MATH-001C-01: TI-83 or TI-83 plus Graphing Calculator required.

MATH 1D CALCULUS 5 Units
Introduction to integration of functions of more than one variable, including double, triple, flux and line integrals. Additional topics include polar, cylindrical and spherical coordinates, parameterization, vector fields, path-independence, divergence and curl.
Five hours lecture, one hour laboratory.
Prerequisite: MATH 1C.
0702 MATH-001D-01 LEC 10:30AM-12:50 MTWTh ENGLISH 3402
MATH-001D-01: TI-83 or TI-83 plus Graphing Calculator required.



When I was in high school, I took multi-variable calculus and linear algebra at UC Berkeley; I don’t know if that’s too far for you and it’s a little expensive.
