 Catalogue Description: Introduction to the differential and integral calculus; differentiation and integration of algebraic and transcendental functions with applications to science and engineering. Prerequisite: MTH 116 or equivalent.

 I. Course Goal: This is the first course in the three course calculus sequence, MTH 168, MTH 169, MTH 218; it is intended for mathematics, mathematics in secondary education, physical science and engineering majors. This course is an introduction to the concepts of single variable calculus. It is designed to help the student develop knowledge in the areas of differential and integral calculus of functions of a single variable, including polynomial, trigonometric, exponential, logarithmic and other transcendental functions, and to help the student develop analytic, computational, and problem solving skills.

II. Course Objectives:

 Objective 1. The student will demonstrate, in writing, knowledge of factual content in traditional subject areas of analytic geometry, limits, differentiation and its applications, and integration of a function of one variable.

Strategy 1. The instructor will demonstrate to the student the development of traditional problem solving algorithms in single variable calculus, and require the student to develop analogous algorithms.

Strategy 2. The instructor will demonstrate the application of traditional problem solving algorithms to the student and require the student to successfully employ traditional problem solving algorithms.

 Objective 2. The student will further develop skills related to problem solving and critical thinking.

Strategy.  The instructor will require that the student successfully pose or model a problem correctly, select appropriate problem solving algorithms to solve a well posed problem, and present results to peers or teachers in written or verbal form.

 Objective 3. The student will further develop skills related to problem solving and technology.

Strategy. The instructor will require that the student write code successfully to implement a problem solving algorithm on a personal computer or calculator.

 Objective 4. The student will further appreciate (attitude) mathematics, the language of science.

Strategy I. The instructor will communicate in precise and logically correct terms, and require the student to communicate in precise and logically correct terns.

Strategy 2. The instructor will develop and employ efficient problem solving algorithms.

 Objective 5. The student will further appreciate (attitude) the impact of the computer in the usage and teaching of mathematics.

Strategy .The instructor will require that the student employ computer graphics to better understand and further explore the relationship between geometry and analysis in single variable calculus.

 Objective 6. The student will further appreciate (value) applications of mathematics to solve real world problems.

Strategy. The instructor will stress where theory is meaningful in applications.

 

llI. Course Topics:

            Limit of a function at a point and at infinity, infinite limits.

Continuity of a function at a point and on an interval, one-sided limits. 

The definition of the derivative as a limit.

            The derivative and the tangent line problem, basic differentiation rules, rates of change.

The product rule, quotient rule and chain rule, higher-order derivatives and implicit differentiation.

Related rates, extrema on an interval, curve sketching along with the relationship between the sign of the first derivative and increasing and decreasing functions, and concavity and the second derivative, optimization.

Rolle’s theorem and the mean value theorem for derivatives.
