Description:

Applied Calculus I The mathematics of calculus enables us to evaluate, analyze, and model quantitative problems that originate in many fields such as business, marketing, finance, physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, mechatronics engineering, aerospace, psychology and social science. MATH 1810 provides opportunities to use mathematics to not only solve some of these problems but to also determine if the solutions are reasonable. Major topics are mathematical modeling applied to real world problems, sets, functions, limits, continuity, single variable differentiation, implicit differentiation, exponential and logarithmic models, integration, and their applications.
