MATH 160Calculus

Catalog

(Q) Calculus is the precise and quantitative study of change. This course explores the notions of an instantaneous rate of change and accumulation of infinitesimally small quantities. This course emphasizes conceptual understanding, not just computational fluency, and students will reason about the concepts in applied, numerical, graphical, algebraic/analytic, and verbal contexts. Topics include derivatives, definite integrals, and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Prerequisite: C or better in MATH 140 or placement into Calculus
