The video tutorial expands on calculus concepts into three dimensions, explaining how functions can be represented as lines, curves, surfaces, and vector fields. It introduces the right-hand rule for understanding the coordinate system and explains how to define surfaces in 3D by plotting points. The tutorial then delves into partial derivatives, explaining their significance and how to calculate them, using examples to illustrate the process.
