| TEXT: | G. B. Thomas, Jr. and R. L. Finney, Calculus and Analytic Geometry, |
| 9th Edition, Addison-Wesley, Reading, MA 1996. | |
| PRE-REQUISITE: | High school mathematics through trigonometry |
MAT 118 explores the topics of the MAT 112 syllabus in greater depth by reducing the amount of time spent reviewing topics from high school mathematics.
MAT 112 is the standard introduction to the differential and integral calculus of functions of one variable. Topics covered include the concepts of derivative and integral, the mean value theorems, the fundamental theorem of calculus, the calculus of elementary functions, applications, and the relation of calculus to analytic geometry.
The objective is to understand calculus and to be able not just to know how to solve problems but to figure out how to solve problems. The content of the course will be largely defined by the methods used to solve the collection of problems in the assignments.
