Description

This course covers differential calculus of a function of one variable. Topics include limits, continuity, and the differentiation of elementary functions (algebraic, trigonometric, inverse trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic functions). Applications include curve sketching, optimization problems, and related rate problems. The combined material from MATH-1103(3) Introduction to Calculus I and MATH-1104(3) Introduction to Calculus II is equivalent to MATH-1101(6) Introduction to Calculus.

Requisite courses

Pre-Calculus Mathematics 40S or MATH-0042 with a minimum grade of C or the former MATH-0040 [prerequisite(s)]; MATH-1103L (lab) (must be taken concurrently).

Restrictions

Students may not hold credit for this course and MATH-1101 | MATH-1102.

Note

Students who have not obtained a minimum grade of 60% in Pre-Calculus 40S are strongly advised to take MATH-0042 prior to registering in this course.
