Math 1106:
Elementary Applied Calculus

Course Description

 

Prerequisite: MATH 1101, MATH 1111, MATH 1112 or MATH 1113.

 

Uses techniques of college algebra and elementary calculus to analyze and model real world phenomena. The emphasis will be on applications using an intuitive approach to the mathematics rather than formal development. Topics include graphs, derivatives, and integrals of functions. The course incorporates collaborative learning, oral and written reports, and technology.

 

Attendance Policy

Students are expected to attend every lecture. There will be no make-up test opportunity for students who miss a scheduled test. Students who miss a lecture are responsible for all information covered in that class meeting.

 

Homework Policy

Homework will be assigned for every lecture, using the features of the website that complements the required textbook for the course. The course grade is dependent on completion of all assigned homework. Late homework will not be accepted.
NewtonThis picture is of Sir Isaac Newton, the famous British scientist of the 17th and 18th centuries. He is credited with the development of the calculus. (See the Wikipedia article on Newton for a detailed biography.) LeibnizThis picture is of Gottfried Leibniz,a German scientist of the 17th and 18th centuries, a contemporary of Isaac Newton. There was a great deal of bad blood between British and German scientists over whether Leibniz or Newton should be credited with the "invention" of the calculus. (See the Wikipedia article on Leibniz for the details.)
