MATH 181 — Calculus I
Students will develop skills in the initial content of both differential and integral calculus including finding limits of functions; exposure to the epsilon-delta process and continuity; finding derivatives of polynomial, rational, radical, trigonometric, inverse trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions, and inverse functions; the chain rule; and integration by substitution. Applications dealing with optimization, related rates, Newton's method, L'Hopital's rule, motion problems and the properties of the graphs of functions are covered. Theorems include the mean-value theorem for derivatives and integrals, the squeeze theorem, and the fundamental theorems of calculus. Implicit differentiation, differentials and summations of area will be used when appropriate. The use of a computer algebra system will be an integral part of the course. A TI-83 or TI-84 graphing calculator is required. Credit will only be granted for one of the following: MATH 140, MATH 145 , or MATH 181 .
