MATH& 151 - Calculus I

Credits: 5
LEC hours per week: 5
MATH& 151 is the first in a sequence of four calculus courses for students who are planning to major in engineering, mathematics, or the sciences. Graphical analysis of concepts is emphasized through the use of technology. Formerly: MATH 124.
Prerequisite(s): Grade of C- or higher in MATH& 142, satisfactory placement score, or permission of the Mathematics Department.
Course Outcomes:

Analyze limits graphically, numerically, and analytically.
Use limits to determine continuity and calculate derivatives.
Interpret the derivative as a limit, slope, and rate of change.
Approximate derivatives numerically and graphically.
Determine derivatives of polynomial, rational, root, trigonometric, exponential, logarithmic, inverse trigonometric functions and products, quotients, and compositions thereof; find derivatives implicitly when necessary.
Demonstrate the relationships between the behaviors and graphs of functions and their limits, first derivatives, and second derivatives.
Construct models for contextual problems and apply calculus to solve them.
Access and use technology as needed.
Communicate mathematics using relevant vocabulary and notation.
