MAT* 256: Calculus II

4 Credits
(Formerly MATH 192)
A second course in Calculus and analytic geometry for students in mathematics, science, engineering and technology. Topics include antiderivatives, the definite integral, the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, techniques of integration, numerical approximation, methods of integration, separable differential equations, improper integrals, sequences and series, polar coordinates and parametric equations. Applications of these topics are used throughout the course and will include problems in area, volume, arc length and exponential growth and decay: (Estimation and approximation techniques are considered throughout the course and include methods for approximating solutions to equations, methods of numerical integrations, and the use of power series to approximate functions.) Solutions of these problems will require the use of graphing calculator and/or Maple software. A TI-83+ or TI-84+ or TI-86 graphing calculator is required.
Prerequisites: Eligibility for ENG* 101 and “C” or better in MAT* 254 (formerly MAT* 250).
