The 2000 Fall Term home page for this course is located here.
The goal of this sequence of courses is to develop the essential ideas
of single-variable calculus: the limit, the derivative, and the
integral. Understanding concepts is emphasized over intricate
mathematical maneuverings. The math learned will be applied to topics
from the physical, natural, and social sciences.
Our text will be Calculus, Single Variable, 2nd edition, Hughes-Hallet et al, J. Wiley. I hope to cover most of chapters 1-5.
Computer work, using the numerical, graphical, and symbolic package Maple will be required. No computer experience is necessary; there will be a weekly lab which will cover the necessary computer skills.
Students entering this course should have a solid background in algebra and functions. Students should have taken precalculus in high school, or math for human ecologists, or have had an equivalent course. Those who have questions about their preparedness should see me.
Evaluation will be based on class participation, weekly homework, and
two untimed, open-notes exams.
