MTH 251 - Calculus 1 (Differential Calc)
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.
