Distribution Area Fulfilled Natural Sciences; Quantitative and Symbolic Reasoning; General Transfer Elective Formerly MATH 125 - CCN
Prerequisite MATH& 151 with a grade of 2.0 or better; or instructor permission
Course Description This is the second of four courses in the calculus sequence. Topics include the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, definite and indefinite integrals, methods of integration, applications of integration, improper integrals, and introductory first order differential equations.
Course Content A. Riemann Sums
B. Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
C. Techniques and Concepts of Integration
D. Applications of Integration
E. Improper integrals
F. Simple first order differential equations
Student Outcomes 1. Interpret the definite integral as an area, a net change, an accumulation, and a limit of Riemann sums.
2. Evaluate definite integrals numerically using Riemann sums and exactly using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
3. Implement the appropriate integration techniques to evaluate both definite and indefinite integrals, applying methods including u-substitution, integration by parts, and partial fractions.
4. Solve applied integration problems including finding areas between curves, volumes of solids, arc length, average value, work, mass, and quantities used in kinematics, and effectively communicate the solutions in context.
5. Determine the convergence of improper integrals and evaluate them when possible.
6. Solve simple first order differential equations and initial value problems using antidifferentiation, direction fields, Euler’s method, and separation of variables.
Degree Outcomes Quantitative & Symbolic Reasoning: Graduates utilize mathematical, symbolic, logical, graphical, geometric, or statistical analysis for the interpretation and solution of problems in the natural world and human society.
Critical, Creative and Reflective Thinking: Graduates will evaluate, analyze, synthesize, and generate ideas; construct informed, meaningful, and justifiable conclusions; and process feelings, beliefs, biases, strengths, and weaknesses as they relate to their thinking, decisions, and creations.
Effective Communication: Graduates will be able to craft and exchange ideas and information in a variety of situations, in response to audience, context, purpose, and motivation.
