About MATH 1248 B

Vectors and vector operations. Techniques and applications of integration. Polar coordinates, Taylor polynomials, sequences and series, power series. Credit will not be given for both MATH 1248 and MATH 1242. No credit following receipt of credit for MATH 2248 or above. Prerequisite: C- or better in MATH 1234.

Notes

Prereqs enforced by the system: MATH 1234; Open to Degree and PACE students

Section Description

Calculus II is a continuation of the study of the calculus of functions of one variable begun in Calculus I. Topics will include techniques of integration, including integration by parts, trigonometric substitution, and partial fractions; applications of integration, including arc length and surface area; parametric equations and polar coordinates; sequences and series, including analytic tests for convergence; Taylor series; and an introduction to vectors in two and three dimensions.

Topics will be presented with a level of depth and rigor appropriate for students pursuing degrees in technical fields such as mathematics, statistics, engineering, or the physical sciences. The computer algebra system Mathematica will be used throughout the course.

Section Expectation

We will meet four times a week. The MWF meetings will be 50 minutes while the Thursday meetings will mostly be used for quizzes. You should expect to spend about 8 to 10 hours on the course per week outside of class.

Evaluation

Grades will be based on frequent quizzes and computer labs.
