MATH 1234 is an introduction to the calculus of functions of one variable. This will include an understanding of the concepts of limits, continuity, the definition of the derivative, and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus; techniques and applications of differentiation; basic integration, including integration by substitution; and applications of integration including area and volume.

This class is lecture based. The purpose of the lecture is for the instructor to present theory and demonstrate computational and graphical examples. Students will apply what they learn in class, on the homework, and will show what they have learned on quizzes and exams. Students will need to purchase a WebAssign/Cengage eBook and online homework system.

There will be 4 in-class exams, approximately 8 in-class quizzes, nearly daily homework assignments via WebAssign, and one in-class final.
