Through this course I would like to help you develop problem-solving skills such as evaluating a problem critically, formulating plans for solving a problem sysmetically, and presenting solutions clearly and completely. The topics covered in this course include functions, limits, derivatives, optimization, and integration. These topics will be studied by using algebraic, graphic and numerical methods. We will also apply these mathematics concepts to the real world problems in the fields of business, finance, biology, ecology, physics and other sciences. If you have any concern about this, please feel free to talk to me.
Questions are always welcome in and after class.
A successful way to master the material covered in this course is to keep up the daily work. I will assign you homework at the end of each class meeting for your exercise. The homework is due at the beginning of the next class period. I do not accept late homework. You may drop the lowest two homework scores.
