In this course we will learn about limits, continuous functions, derivatives, integrals, and their applications. The primary goals of this course are for students to:
- Gain a substantial understanding about what calculus is and why it is useful.
- Recognize the appropriate tools of calculus to solve applied problems.
- Analyze functions using limits, derivatives, and integrals in a variety of different ways (graphically, numerically, analytically and verbally).
- Understand basic concepts from either business and economics or life science and be able to apply the tools of calculus to solve related problems in a context.
