Description:

Calculus I Calculus forms the foundation for many other areas of mathematics and has applications in various fields such as physics, engineering, and economics. It equips students with problem-solving skills and a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts, making it a valuable asset in academic and professional pursuits. MATH 1910 is a course on differential calculus with an introduction to integral calculus and is the first in a sequence of three courses designed to provide tools necessary for continued work in the STEM fields. Major topics are limits and derivatives, differentiation rules, applications of differentiation, and integration. The majority of the course is devoted to differential calculus which broadly speaking is a study of rates of change which are explored in a variety of areas of application of interest and relevant to being knowledgeable consumers and citizens.
