The course provides for the study of various types of functions and their graphing. It extends the central ideas of Algebra I to include complex numbers, exponents, and logarithms. Appropriate technology is applied. This course combines one semester of differential calculus and one semester of integral calculus. The course consists of the delta method, limits, functions, continuity, differential approximations, implicit differentiation, applications to velocity and acceleration, curve sketching, maximum and minimum problems, mean value theorem, antiderivatives, definite integrals, differentiation and integration of transcendental funtions, trapezoidal rule, applications to area and volume, and integration by parts.
