Calculus I provides the basic concepts and tools for solving many useful
problems in physics, other natural sciences, economics and a host of other
disciplines. The derivative is a fundamental concept because so many
modeling problems involves rates of change. Integration is the key to
solving equations that involve rates of change as well as solving great
stuff like areas, volumes, and arc lengths.
In Calculus II the study of Calculus first turns its attention to a rigorous basis for
exponential and logarithmic functions followed by integration techniques
that greatly extend the possible functions that can be easily (?)
integrated.

The study of series is a critical one with a basis in the linearization of
functions first encountered in Calculus I.
Finally, the semester ends with a study of conic sections and polar coordinates.
(Polar coordinates are cool!)
The material of Calculus II is to build a foundation for Calculus III where attentions is
shifted to really beautiful concepts and techniques involving three-dimensional space and multiple integrals!
The teacher will off-campus during the month of June; however, he will have e-mail access.
There are ways to work through without creating undue delays in your progress.
Make certain you have made arrangements well in advance. |
