COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Study of limits, continuity, derivatives, applications of the derivative, definite, and indefinite integrals. Graphing calculator required. Lab included.

 

COURSE MEASURABLE LEARNING OUTCOMES:

Upon completion of this course the students should be able to do the following:

1. Prove limits using the formal definition; and then calculate various problems using

        properties of limits and the L’Hopital’s Rule. Find instantaneous rate of change,

 continuities, and tangent lines.

2. Compute the derivative as a limit; and then differentiate transcendental and algebraic functions using rules of differentiation. Solve related rates, linearization and differential problems

3. Use first and second derivatives to find absolute and local extrema, to sketch graph of functions, to solve optimization problems, and to find roots of functions using Newton’s method.

4. Derive the definite integral as a limit; and then use the fundamental theorem of calculus, properties of definite and indefinite integrals, and the substitution method to evaluate integrals with applications.
