Year Two
1st Semester 10 Credits
MATH 1151 - Calculus I (5 Credits)
This course provides and introduction to differential calculus. Topics presented include functions, limits, continuity, derivatives, differentiation rules, derivatives of the trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions, related rates, extrema, curve sketching, and optimization. Course also introduces integral calculus: antiderivatives, definite integral, Riemann sums, area under a curve, Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, numerical integration, integration by substitution, and derivatives and integrals of inverse trigonometric, hyperbolic, and inverse hyperbolic functions. Applications to problems in science and engineering are highlighted.

PHYS 1200 - Algebra-Based Physics (5 Credits)
This is a laboratory course in classical mechanics (kinematics, Newton's laws, gravitation, energy, momentum, rotational motion, and angular momentum) as well as fluids, harmonic motion, waves, and sound.
Lecture: 4 hours
Lab: 2 hours
Prerequisite: MATH 1148 or MATH 1113 or higher, placement into ENGL 1100; PHYS 0100 or higher or placement equivalent
2nd Semester 9 Credits
MATH 1152 - Calculus II (5 Credits)
This course continues the introduction to integral calculus. Topics covered include integration of exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, inverse trigonometric functions, volume and surface area of solids of revolution, arc length, and methods of integration. Course also presents L’Hopital’s Rule and Improper Integrals. Students will learn to analyze plane curves given parametrically or in polar coordinates, and their differential and integral calculus. Students will learn about infinite sequences and series, their sum and/or convergence, conic sections, vectors in the plane and in space. Applications to problems in science and engineering are noted. Not open to students with credit for MATH 1157 and above.
