Calculus: Early Transcendentals, Volume 2. Fourth custom edition for UBC, by Briggs, Cochran and Gillett.
The textbook is available at the UBC Bookstore.
ISBN 10 digit: 1269921924. ISBN 13 digit: 9781269921923.
We will mostly focus on the first 4 chapters of the textbook, that is, Chapter 5 (Integration), Chapter 7 (Integration Techniques), Chapter 8 (Sequences and Infinite Series) and Chapter 9 (Power Series). Some applications (e.g. some probability theory) will be provided.
Here is a rough (tentative) course schedule. For more practical questions of each section, see our canvas page.
