MAT 130 - Calculus I

Instructor
Staff

An introduction to the differential and integral calculus of algebraic, trigonometric, exponential, and inverse trigonometric functions with applications including graphical analysis, optimization and numerical methods. In the fall, there are two variants in addition to the basic course, indicated by the first letter of the section designation: Sections designated with “X” cover the same topics as the basic course, but are addressed to students encountering calculus for the first time. Sections designated with “M” are titled “Calculus and Modeling I” and investigate mathematical approaches to describing and understanding change in the context of problems in the life sciences.

Prerequisites & Notes
Sections designated with “X” are not open to any student with one semester of a high school or college course about calculus. Other fall sections assume previous exposure to (not proficiency in) some calculus concepts. Spring sections have no restrictions.
