IMPORTANT: There are two courses named "Integral and Differential Calculus" available to 1st year students. They are both two-semester courses:
- MATH 120 (this course),
- MATH 121.
The two courses are very different, and you should make sure you enrol in the right one. Please contact the Undergraduate Chair (mathstat.ugchair@queensu.ca) if you have questions.
MATH 120 is an introductory course in calculus, spanning two semesters, primarily designed for students with an interest or strong background in mathematics (particularly those planning to study Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, or Computing).
Although MATH 120 will develop the computational tools, its main focus will be understanding the fundamental ideas, and how to reason with them.
Calculus consists of a large number of interrelated concepts, and solving a single problem can require thinking about one concept or object in several different ways. Because of this, conceptual understanding is very important, and it is not possible to learn a short list of “problem templates” that will allow you to do all the homework and exam problems. Thus, while the lecture and tutorials will include many worked examples, in MATH 120 you will still be asked to solve some problems that do not match up with ones that you have already seen.

TEXTBOOK / REFERENCE
TEXTBOOK / REFERENCE
Students are not required to purchase a textbook. However, the textbook Calculus by Michael Spivak, 4th edition, ISBN 9780914098911, is strongly recommended.
Readings and daily exercises (not graded) will be assigned from this edition of this textbook.
This book is available at the campus bookstore. This is not the same textbook that was used last year.
