Homework includes more challenging and occassionally more theoretical problems.
Students contemplating majoring in mathematics as well as others desiring a strong foundation in calculus are encouraged to take this course or the honors calculus course described below. The course Introduces the techniques of integral calculus, trigfunctions, logarithms, and the calculus of parametric functions. Reinforces algebraic manipulation and trig techniques learned in high school. Provides tools for use in other disciplines, although most examples come from geometry, graphs and the simple physics of motion. Uses proofs to help make the techniques a coherent whole rather than a set of isolated tricks.
