CATALOG DESCRIPTION:
This is the second course in the Technical Mathematics sequence. Scientific methods of
differential calculus are developed and applied to solving practical problems. Topics
include differentiation and integration of algebraic, exponential, logarithmic and
trigonometric functions, curve sketching, rectilinear motion, extrema, area and volume.
INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES:
1. Reinforce the student’s knowledge of analytic geometry, trigonometry and the
exponential and logarithmic functions.
2. Introduce the students to concept of derivatives as slopes of tangent to curve and
as rates of change.
3. Familiarize the students with the use of derivatives in solving practical problems
and curve sketching.
4. Introduce the students to indefinite/definite integrals.
5. Enable the students to use integrals to evaluate areas and volumes and to solve
rectilinear motion problems.
6. Provide the students with a historical background of the terms and concepts that
will enhance their understanding of the subject matter.
7. Provide the students with the opportunity to experience different methods of
solving problems through the cultural diversity and educational background of the
class.
