D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mathematics, 2006. Includes bibliographical references (leaf 55). In this thesis we study the processes by which university students solve problems in multivariable calculus. Our data consists of a series of questionnaires and interviews with students enrolled in a vector calculus class at MIT. We interpret our observations in the light of previous research into the acquisition of mathematical knowledge and understanding. by Francesca Deserti.
