MAT 125 Calculus A, Fall 2015

Course Webpage

-- The goal of this course is to develop your understanding of the concepts of differential calculus and your ability to apply them to problems both within and outside of mathematics. Functions are presented and analyzed as tables, graphs, and formulas. You need to continue to develop your proficiency at manipulating formulas and equations, which are the language of science. Fluency in this language is essential for success in science or engineering.

Our course coordinator is Professor Bill Bernhard. He maintains the webpage of our class
