MATH 2200 Calculus I
Calculus, one of the classical topics in mathematics, is the study of change. It is useful both in scientific fields and in applied studies from engineering to the life sciences. The primary goals of this course are to master the fundamental concepts and techniques of differential calculus in one variable, and to develop problem solving and critical thinking skills. Prerequisite: Completion of
MATH 1405,
MATH 1450, or test into
MATH 2200 or higher. (5 lect.) MATH
Major Topics
- Functions
- Limits
- Derivatives
- Applications of the Derivative
- Integration
Outcomes
In order to successfully complete this course, the student will:
1. Use algebraic, graphical and numerical skills and thinking to solve problems that involve limits and derivatives.
2. Apply differential calculus concepts to a variety of applications.
3. Employ graphical, numerical and algebraic representations of mathematical relationships involving limits and derivatives.
4. Calculate integrals using both the definition of the integral, and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
5. Manipulate graphical, numerical and algebraic representations of mathematical relationships.
6. Demonstrate the ability to read and write mathematics.
