Analytic geometry and statistics are also addressed. Students use calculators and computers as problem-solving tools. This course provides students with the foundation in college algebra, trigonometry and analytic geometry needed to begin the calculus sequence. In this course students gain knowledge of mathematical concepts and tools for decision making. Building on MATH-148, the course emphasizes practical applications of theoretical concepts.
Students use spreadsheet software to analyze problems and develop solution models.
Topics include functions and limits, differentiation and integration. Calculus methods are applied to algebraic, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric and inverse trigonometric functions. The computer is used throughout the course as a problem-solving tool. In this course students gain knowledge of statistical decision-making tools. Research design concepts are included as a basis for single and multiple sample groups.
