Specifically, a study of numbers and functions, graphs and curves, derivatives and integrals. Major theorems will include the Mean Value Theorem and the Fundamental Theorem. It is important to understand that this is a two-semester course and that the full benefit cannot be realized without the completion of both semesters. One of the more major goals will be to have a hands-on experience with computer tools that streamline the computational parts of calculus. Students will be expected to participate in a computer lab component of the course to investigate the uses and limitations of computer tools for the subject.
Linear algebra provides the tools for organizing mathematics in higher dimensions.
This course is about the many disguises of vectors and matrices and how they help us organize objects in space. The course will center around five application problems. It is no loger necesssary to take a whole course in algebra or precalculus to satisfy the prerequisites for science and math courses. Just review the weak areas of your math placement evaluationand sign up for topics covering those areas. Math topics are divided into 49 units, which are listed on the math web page.
