Description
A one semester introductory, applications-oriented calculus course
primarily intended for students of business or the social sciences.
The emphases will include a more conceptual, less axiomatic,
foundation of calculus. As such, it is not intended for students
majoring in the mathematical sciences. The course will build upon a
careful study of calculus applications, particularly those
originating in a more complete understanding of business and
economics. The course will have a "real world" orientation with
less abstraction than that of traditional theory-oriented courses.
The course begins by reviewing algebraic techniques and developing
functions. This course should also serve as preparation for the
natural standardized exams required by many MBA programs.
Prerequisite: MAT112 or equivalent algebra course (no trigonometry
required) (3 s.h.)
