COURSE CONTENT

Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

To be successful, students should be able to:

1.  Apply methods of integration, including integraton by parts, partial

   fractions, and use of tables or a computer algebra system.

2.  Use numerical integration to approximate definite integrals.

3.  Solve elementary differential equations, including separable and

   linear differential equations.

4.  Determine partial derivatives of multivariable functions.

5.  Apply convergence tests to series with constant terms.

6.  Compute and use Taylor polynomials and Taylor series for elementary

   functions.

6.  Apply integration and differentiation concepts to variance and

   probability density functions.

Topics and Scope

Descrete Topics

    Sequences, Sigma notation, Binomial Theorem, Factorial notation,

    Combination notation, Pascal's Triangle.

Calculus and Probability

    Discrete and continuous random variables; variance and probability

    density functions.

Multivariable Calculus

    Analytic geometry in 3-D; functions of several variables; partial

    differentiation; constrained optimization; double integrals.

Sequences and Series

    Convergence, p-series; ratio test; power series and Taylor's theorem

    Taylor polynomials; Newton's method.

Differential Equations

    Solutions to differential equations; separation of variables;

    first-order linear differential equations; applications.

Assignments:

1.  The student will have daily outside reading, problem set assignments

   from required text (s), or instructor chosen supplementary materials.

2.  Instructional methodology may include, but is not limited to:

   lecture, demonstrations, oral recitation, discussion, supervised

   practice, independent study, outside project or other assignments.

Methods of Evaluation/Basis of Grade.

Writing: Assessment tools that demonstrate writing skill and/or require students to select, organize and explain ideas in writing.		Writing 0 - 0%
None
This is a degree applicable course but assessment tools based on writing are not included because problem solving assessments and skill demonstrations are more appropriate for this course.
Problem solving: Assessment tools, other than exams, that demonstrate competence in computational or non-computational problem solving skills.		Problem Solving 25 - 50%
Homework problems, Exams
Skill Demonstrations: All skill-based and physical demonstrations used for assessment purposes including skill performance exams.		Skill Demonstrations 30 - 70%
Performance exams
Exams: All forms of formal testing, other than skill performance exams.		Exams 5 - 25%
Multiple choice
Other: Includes any assessment tools that do not logically fit into the above categories.		Other Category 0 - 10%
WRITING ASSIGNMENTS

Representative Textbooks and Materials:

Text (s) required of each student will be selected by the department,

a committee of the department, or the responsible instructor from the

books currently available.  Among the choices could be:

BRIEF CALCULUS WITH APPLICATIONS, 6th Ed. Larson/Hostetler, Heath, 1998

Calculus with Applications and Sequences and Series, 6th Edition

by Lial/Miller/Greenwell, Harper Collins, 1998.
