Master the techniques of differential calculus for single-variable functions: limits, continuity, derivatives, and antiderivatives. Refine the study of functions and trigonometry. Solve problems involving optimization and related rates. Investigate applications to science and economics.

Quantitative Reasoning

These are my goals for you over the course of the semester. I would also beinterested to hear any other goals you have for yourself.• Students will successfully communicate mathematics through reading, writingand speaking.• Students will value peer collaboration and group learning while continuing tomaintain a sense of self-motivation and personal understanding.• Students will work to solve difficult problems. Value the process of figuringthem out yourself, rather than just searching for “the answer.”• Students will be prepared to continue to Math 142 and use the tools ofdifferential calculus as they apply to other disciplines:– Understand limits and continuity.– Realize the derivative as a limit and as a function.– Apply knowledge of the derivative to solve “word problems.”• We will all have FUN learning calculus.
