M 162M - Applied Calculus

Credit(s): 4

Prerequisite(s): grade of “C” or better in M 121, appropriate placement test score, or Math Department consent.
This course is an applications oriented approach to differential and integral calculus. Topics covered are limits, derivatives, applications of derivatives, definite integrals, and applications of the definite integral; these topics are covered for functions of one variable, including exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric functions. Applications of the calculus will be demonstrated through a technology component for the course. (Fall Semester)
