MATH 2131 — - Applied Calculus
This course is intended for students in the life and social sciences who have taken Math 2103 . The differential and integral calculus are developed with an emphasis on solving real world problems in the sciences. Limits, derivatives and integrals of algebraic, logarithmic, exponential and trigonometric functions are studied. Applications will include analyzing graphs, finding maximum and minimum values of functions, calculating rates of change and computing areas and cumulative change. This course is not intended for students planning to study mathematics, statistics, computer science, physical sciences, engineering or any other discipline requiring the complete calculus sequence. MATH 2131 is not an alternative to MATH 2141 (Calculus I) and does not satisfy the prerequisite for MATH 2142 (Calculus II).
