| MAT 151 : Calculus 1 | The Study of Change | COURSE OUTLINE |
Catalog Description:
This is the first course in the standard integrated calculus sequence. Topics covered include differentiation and integration of algebraic and
trigonometric functions. Applications include curve sketching, related rates, maxima and minima, and approximations, and calculation of areas
and volumes of revolution. There is an emphasis on the theory of limits and continuity.
