MA230 - Analytic Geometry & Calculus II

5 Credit(s)

Prerequisite: MA 185 Plane Trigonometry and MA 220 Analytic Geometry & Calculus I.

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 integration and series. Extensive examples from the physical sciences are explored through the lens of Calculus such as hydrostatic forces, properties of complex geometric shapes, and estimating quantities that are difficult or impossible to calculate exactly. An early transcendentals approach is used. Topics include advanced integration methods (integration by parts, trigonometric substitutions, partial fraction decomposition,), improper integrals, applications of integration (arc length, surface area, hydrostatic pressure, center of mass,), differential equations, parametric equations, polar coordinates, sequences, series, and Taylor series. The Calculus series is continued in MA 240 Analytic Geometry & Calculus III.
