Calculus is the branch of mathematics that studies continuously changing quantities and is characterized by the use of infinite processes. Calculus serves as a powerful tool in solving problems that arise in astronomy, biology, business, chemistry, economics, engineering, geology, medicine, physics and the social sciences.

Instruction of calculus concepts are presented through multiple approaches including numerical, graphical, analytical and verbal methods. Graphing calculators and computer software are used throughout the course to gain conceptual understanding. During the spring semester students take Calculus II which includes additional methods of differentiation and integration, infinite series, polynomial approximations and series, calculus for polar equations, parametric equations and vector valued functions. |
