Calculus is a transition course to upper-division mathematics and computer science courses. Students will extend their experience with functions as they study the fundamental concepts of calculus: limiting behaviors, difference quotients and the derivative, Riemann sums and the definite integral, antiderivatives and indefinite integrals, and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.

Prerequisite 

To succeed in this course you will need to be comfortable with  Algebra I (elementary algebra) and Algebra II (intermediate algebra).

 


Learning Outcomes

At the end of this course the student will be able to:

  • calculate limits, derivatives, and integrals of various algebraic and trigonometric functions of a single variable
  • understand  the basic concepts of differential and integral calculus.
  • to analyze graphs of various functions of a single variable including transcendental functions.
  • find area of regions by using integrals.
  • solve integrals numerically.
