MATH 131 - Calculus With Review I

4 Credit(s)

This is the first semester of a three-semester sequence in differential and integral calculus of a single variable. The course introduces the concept of the derivative and some of its applications. After a review of coordinate systems and functions, including polynomials, rational and trigonometric functions, the course covers limits, continuity, differentiation, and applications of derivatives. Typical applications include related rates, curve sketching, linearization and differentials, Newton’s method, and optimization.
Prerequisite(s): MATH 120 or at least Level 4 on the Mathematics Assessment.
