Course Description
This course is designed to acquaint students to calculus principles such as derivatives, integrals, limits, approximation, applications and modeling, and sequences and series. During this course students will gain experience in the use of calculus methods and learn how calculus methods may be applied to practical applications. Topics include Antiderivatives and Definite Integrals, the Application of Integrals and Infinite Sequences and Series.
Course Objectives
After completing this course, students will be able to: be able to work with functions represented in a variety of ways: graphical, numerical, analytical, or verbal understand the connections among these representations understand the meaning of the derivative in terms of a rate of change and local linear approximation be able to use derivatives to solve a variety of problems understand the meaning of the definite integral both as a limit of Riemann sums and as the net accumulation of change be able to use integrals to solve a variety of problems understand the relationship between the derivative and the definite integral as expressed in both parts of the fundamental theorem of calculus
Course Prerequisites
General Calculus II continues where General Calculus I (MAT250 by StraighterLine) leaves off. It picks up immediately with Unit 5: Antiderivatives and Definite Integrals. StraighterLine suggests, though does not require, that students take General Calculus I or its equivalent before enrolling in General Calculus II.
