Catalog description

Introduction to integral calculus, differential equations, and multivariable calculus. Topics from integral calculus include: accumulation, signed area, the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, computational methods, use of tables, numerical approximations, antiderivatives, techniques of integration, and applications of the integral such as area, volume, mean values. Topics from differential equations include: modeling, algebraic and graphical solutions, slope fields, numerical software and analytic solutions. Topics from multivariable calculus include: graphs, partial derivatives, the chain rule, optimization. This course makes use of technology. It is designed for the life sciences and is not intended for students in engineering, physics or the mathematical sciences. Not open to students with credit in MATH 2310 or MATH 2510 . This Foundational Skills course must be completed with a grade of C- or higher.
