MATH 150
Calculus I
Calculus is the mathematical study of continuous change.
The principle tools developed to this end in this course are the
following.
Limits - Covered in Chapter 1.
Derivatives - Covered in Chapters 2, 3 and 4.
Integrals - Covered in Chapter 5.
The pinnacle of the course is the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
It shows how the seemingly disparate ideas behind derivatives and
integrals are actually deeply intertwined.
This course relies heavily on ideas and skills developed in algebra
and trigonometry.
