Calculus is a general education course, which fulfills the math requirement for some majors. General education in Mathematics develops the understanding of mathematics as a language which permits the student to express, define, and answer questions about the world.
This is the first course in the calculus sequence. It covers algebraic and transcendental functions, rate of change, limits, continuity, differentiation of algebraic, trig, exponential, logarithmic, and hyperbolic functions, differentials, applications of differentiation, definite and indefinite integrals, area between curves, volumes and other applications of integration, indeterminate forms, and L'Hopital's Rule.
