MTH 251 - Calculus 1 (Differential Calculus) |
A first-term calculus course including a review of algebra
and trigonometry followed by development of the derivative
from the perspective of rate of change, slope of the tangent
line, and numerical and graphical limits of the difference
quotient. The difference quotient is used as a basis for
formulating analytical methods which include the product,
quotient, and power rules; implicit differentiation; and
procedures for differentiating polynomial, exponential,
logarithmic, and trigonometric functions. Analytical,
graphical, and numerical methods are used to support one
another in developing the course material. Opportunities are
provided for students to work in groups, verbalize concepts
with one another, pursue guided project activities, and
explore concepts and applications using technology. Use of a
programmable graphic calculator is required.
