MAT 201 - Calculus 1 Credits: 4 4 Lecture Hours
Prerequisites: MAT 142 and MAT 147
Description A course designed for students majoring in mathematics, science or engineering. The theory of calculus, as well as problem solving and applications, is stressed. Topics include: algebraic functions; exponential and logarithmic functions; trigonometric and inverse trigonometric functions; hyperbolic and inverse hyperbolic functions; limits and continuity, derivatives and applications; curve sketching; antiderivatives; the definite integral and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of the course, the student will:
- Compute limits of elementary functions.
- Apply L’Hospital’s rule to compute limits of indeterminant forms.
- Show that a function is continuous at a point in its domain.
- Compute derivatives as the limit of a difference quotient.
- Compute derivatives of elementary functions using differentiation formulas, the chain rule and implicit differentiation.
- Apply differentiation techniques to find extreme values of functions, determine the concavity of the graph and to show that a function is monotonic.
- Apply differentiation techniques to sketch the graph of a function.
- Apply the derivative to solve related rate and optimization problems.
- Compute antiderivatives of elementary functions using the substitution rule.
- Compute definite integrals by expressing them as a limit of Riemann sums.
- Compute definite integrals using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
- Apply the definite integral to compute area.
