Section Description

Fundamentals of Calculus I is the first course in our two-course applied calculus sequence. The follow-up course is Math 1224 – Fundamentals of Calculus II.

Fundamentals of Calculus I 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, the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, techniques and applications of differentiation, basic integration including substitution, and assorted applications of integration. This basically covers chapters 2 – 5 of the textbook given below.

Topics will be presented with a level of depth and rigor appropriate for students pursuing degrees in business, economics, social and life sciences. Please speak to the Department of Mathematics and Statistics if you are unsure if you are taking the correct calculus course.

Section Expectation

Required Course Materials: Online Homework Access Code

You will need an access code for MyMathLab online homework, which includes access to an eBook. The access code can be purchased with or without a hardcover textbook; note that only the access code is required.

There is a free trial period (10-14 days, I believe) for MyMath Lab. I recommend taking advantage of the free trial period before purchasing anything. Once you purchase access to MyMath Lab, it is completely non-refundable.

Due to the condensed nature of this class, students will be expected to spend 15-20 hours per week on this class. This includes watching instructional videos, doing homework, and completing assessments (quizzes, exams, etc.).

This class is offered remotely. There is no need to travel to campus to take any of the quizzes or exams.

Evaluation

Grades will be based on 3-5 homework assignments per week, weekly quizzes, a midterm exam, and a final exam. Respondus Lockdown Browser and Respondus Monitor may be used for assessments to ensure academic integrity.
