Definition: In general, a function of variables, is a rule that assigns a unique real number to each point in some set in the . The set is called its domain and the set is called its range. Definition: If is a function of two variables with domain then the graph of is the set of all points in such that and is in .
Recalls
Defintion: If is a smooth parametric curve in 2D or 3D that is represented by
Then,
Definitions: Let and The set of all point that are enclosed by the circle centered at and radius , but do not lie on the circle, is called the open disk of radius and center The set of points that lie on the circle together with those enclosed by the circle is called the closed disk.
Recalls
Definitions: Analogously, if is a sphere centered at and has positive radius , then the set of points that enclosed by the sphere, but do not lie on the sphere, is called the open ball. The set of points that lie on the sphere together with those enclosed by the sphere is called the closed ball.
If is a set in , then called an interior point of if there is some open disk centered at that contains only points of D, and is called a boundary point if every open disk centered at contains both points in and points not in
A set is called closed if it contains all of its boundary points and open if it contains none of its boundary points. and are both closed and open.

Extrema of multivariable functions Definitions:
Extrema of multivariable functions Theorem (Extream value): If is continuous on a closed and bounded set , then has both an absolute maximum and an absolute minimum on
Definition: A point in the domain of a function is called a critical point of the function if if one or both partial derivatives do not exist at
Theorem: If has a relative extremum at a point if it is a critical point and the first order partial derivatives of exist at
Extrema of multivariable functions Saddle point: If has neither a relative maximums nor a relative minimum at a critical point , then it is called a saddle point of
In general, the surface has a saddle point at if there are two distinct vertical planes through this point such that the trace of the surface in on of the planes has a relative maximum and the trace in the other has a relative minimum at
