Analytic Geometry & Calculus II

Catalog description

The calculus sequence is designed for students whose area of concentration is mathematics, science, or engineering. The SWIC Mathematics faculty believes calculus students must become aware of the advances in technology and its uses in mathematics, particularly in calculus. Therefore, computer technology is integrated in the calculus sequence through the use of the Mathematica software package. Students are also required to use graphing calculators, as recommended by the instructor, on some assignments and/or tests. It is recommended that any calculus sequence be completed in the college in which it was begun. However, if astudent transfers during the sequence, the student is urged to discuss the calculus entry level with the math department of the transfer school. The MATH 204 course content includes the topics of applications of integration, techniques of integration, infinite series, conic sections, parametric equations, and polar functions.
