- Compute double and triple integrals of scalar functions over any given 2D and 3D regions.
- Compute gradient, divergence, and curl of a given function using orthogonal, curvilinear coordinates and to solve related problems using cylindrical and spherical coordinates.
- Evaluate line, surface and volume integrals of continuous scalar and vector fields over a given domain and apply integral theorems.
