*This introductory Calculus course is designed for students majoring in biology, pre-health sciences, or any other major except mathematics, computer, science, physics, engineering, or chemistry. It is a course for students who will not need calculus 2, but will take statistics. This course provides the fundamental concepts of the calculus in the context of applications to the health, life and social sciences, and beyond. The course prerequisite is pre-calculus-high school Algebra and Trigonometry.
All biology majors going on to graduate school or medical school should take Organic Chemistry (CHE 1213R, 1214R, 1215L), and Physics 1031-1032 R&L. Independent study and summer research in biology do NOT satisfy any biology requirements.
