MAT-2410 Calculus I

Credits: 4
This course is the first course in a three-semester sequence of university level calculus for a variety of majors including but not limited to engineering, mathematics, and science. It serves as an introduction to single variable calculus. Students find limits using algebraic, graphical, and numerical methods. They also learn rules of differentiation and solve applicational problems using concepts of differentiation. Additionally, students use rules of integration to determine antiderivatives. Finally, they use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus and Riemann sums to evaluate definite integrals.
Prerequisite(s): Determined by placement methods or completion of MAT-1360 with a grade of C or higher.
