Math 120 – Calculus I<\/summary>\n

Calculus is essential for majors in biology, chemistry, computer science, economics, mathematics, physics, and environmental science and policy. Part I includes functions, limits, continuity, differentiation of algebraic and trigonometric functions, mean-value theorem and various applications. Part II includes Riemann sums and integrals, techniques and applications of integration, improper integrals, transcendental functions (logarithms, exponential functions and inverse trigonometric functions). sequences and series. Though not all results are derived rigorously, care is taken to distinguish intuitive arguments from rigorous proofs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
