Prerequisite: MAT 149 with a grade of C or better.
Course (Catalog) Description: This is the first course
in calculus and analytic geometry focusing on: limits, continuity, derivatives,
indefinite and definite integrals, differentiation and integration of exponential
functions, logarithmic functions and their applications. Calculators/computers
will be used when appropriate.
Learning Objectives:1. Understand the concept of a limit.
2. Understand the concept of continuity.
3. Understand the concept of a derivative.
4. Evaluate derivatives of algebraic, trigonometric, exponential and
logarithmic functions.
5. Use derivatives to solve optimization problems, related rate problems,
and to analyze the graphs of functions.
6. Understand the concepts of the indefinite and definite integrals.
7. Evaluate indefinite and definite integrals.
8. Use definite integrals to find area, distance traveled and total
change.
9. Use calculators/computers in all areas of problem solving.
Academic Integrity: The very nature of higher education requires that students adhere to accepted standards of academic integrity. Therefore, Oakton Community College has adopted a Code of Academic Conduct and a Statement of Student Academic Integrity. These may be found in the Student handbook. You may also find a summary of the Code of Academic Conduct on the College Catalog. Among the violations of academic integrity listed and defined are: Cheating, plagiarism, falsification and fabrication of records and official documents, personal misrepresentation and proxy, and bribes, favors, and threats.
It is the student's responsibility to be aware of behaviors that constitute academic dishonesty.
Pursuant to the due process guarantees contained in the Policy and Procedures on Student Academic Integrity, the minimum punishment for the first offense for a student found in violation of the standards of academic integrity is failure in the assignment. In addition, a disciplinary record will be established and kept on file in the office of the Vice-President for Student Affairs for a period of 3 years.
Instructional Materials:
(for all sections) a scientific graphing calculator
Thomas' Calculus: Early Transcendentals, 10e, Finney, Weir and
Gordian, Addison-Wesley, 2003.
Methods of Instruction: Lectures, class discussion, individual and group homework and use of a computer laboratory.
