Problems On Multi Variable Calculus

This document provides 20 multivariable calculus problems involving partial derivatives, Taylor series expansions, and finding relative/absolute maxima and minima. Some of the specific problems include finding partial derivatives of functions, approximating functions using Taylor polynomials, using Lagrange multipliers to find maxima/minima of functions subject to constraints, and determining functional dependence using Jacobians.
