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!

 

spring break:  Friday, 12 Mar — Sunday, 21 Mar
The teacher is available via e-mail and snail-mail.
A web server upgrade is scheduled for Tuesday, 16 Mar 10, morning.
This may result in problems with course web pages, but any such problems will be actively addressed to minimize the period of any outages or other problems.
Thank you for your understanding and patience!

This course is designed to meet the needs of the Adult Degree Program and Distance Education students at Southwestern Adventist University.

The structure has been adapted for the distance education environment from an on-campus course.  The mathematics you will be studying is the same as and the assignments and tests are virtually identical to the grading opportunities students attending classes at Southwestern Adventist University find.

I wish you the best success as you study this material.  May you find this mathematics interesting and enjoyable!  If I can, as a teacher, help you in successfully completing the requirements and earning a great grade, then I am more than happy to work with you towards that end.
