MATH 2200 Calculus I

Calculus, one of the classical topics in mathematics, is the study of change. It is useful both in scientific fields and in applied studies from engineering to the life sciences. The primary goals of this course are to master the fundamental concepts and techniques of differential calculus in one variable, and to develop problem solving and critical thinking skills. Prerequisite: Completion of MATH 1405, MATH 1450, or test into MATH 2200 or higher. (5 lect.) MATH
