MAT2731 Introduction to Calculus

The purpose of this introductory course is to strengthen students’ foundational understanding of functions, limits, sequences, and algebraic mathematical modeling and introduce the concept of the derivative of the single variable. Students who complete this course will have a solid foundation of introductory Calculus (through the derivative of functions) and a strong foundation for a more advanced level Calculus I course. Extensive time will be devoted to learning and applying the rules of differentiation to solve a spectrum of business, economics and life, physical, and social science problems. Students explore the concepts of functions, limits and continuity, instantaneous rates of change and optimization, and the fundamental theorem of calculus. Graphing calculators (required) will be used extensively throughout the course. Credits: 3.000
