MA220 - Analytic Geometry & Calculus I

5 Credit(s)

Prerequisite or Corequisite: MA 178 College Algebra and MA122 Plane Trigonometry or equivalent.

Calculus is used to model and predict the way physical phenomena change over time. You will use the ideas of Calculus to understand and fully participate in the scientific and engineering communities. In this course, you will learn how to use limits, derivatives, and integrals. Extensive examples from the physical sciences are explored through the lens of Calculus, such as radioactive decay and rates of change. An early transcendentals approach is used. Topics include limits, limit laws, derivatives, derivative rules (sum, product, quotient, chain rule, ), implicit differentiation, hyperbolic functions, mean-value theorem, definite integration, fundamental theorem of calculus, introductory integration method including the substitution method, application of definite integrals including area, volume, and average values.The Calculus series is continued in MA 230 Analytic Geometry & Calculus II.
