4-S Together with MATH 170 Calculus I with Precalculus A, this course covers all the material of MATH 181 Calculus I with integrated treatment of precalculus topics. Expected calculus topics include applications of derivatives including optimization, curve- sketching, and the Mean Value Theorem; introduction to integration, including the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, computation of areas, and the technique of substitution; and calculus of transcendental functions. Precalculus topics to support these will be addressed as needed. Students who complete this course with a C have fulfilled the prerequisite for Calculus II. Fulfills General Education Abstract and Quantitative Reasoning requirement. Liberal Arts. Prerequisite: MATH 170.
2-F Covers the skills and conceptual foundations necessary for success in Calculus II, with a broader focus on mathematical problem solving. Fulfills General Education Abstract and Quantitative Reasoning requirement. Liberal Arts. Prerequisite: MATH 171 or 181, or previous experience with calculus and permission of instructor.
