MAT 212 - Topics in Calculus [SUN# MAT 2212] 3 Credits, 3 Contact Hours 3 lecture periods 0 lab periods Introductory topics in differential and integral calculus to include limits, continuity, differentiation, and integration of functions with particular emphasis on business applications. Microsoft Excel and/or graphing calculators will be used as tools for further understanding of these concepts.
Prerequisite(s): MAT 151 or MAT 187 or satisfactory score on the mathematics assessment exam. Information: A graphing calculator (technology) is required. See your instructor for details. Gen-Ed: Meets AGEC - MATH; Meets CTE - M&S.
Course Learning Outcomes
- Evaluate limits of functions.
- Differentiate functions and apply derivatives.
- Determine antiderivatives of functions and apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
Performance Objectives:
- Evaluate limits of algebraic functions.
- Use the definition to determine continuity of a function.
- Use the definition to determine the derivative of algebraic functions.
- Use techniques of differentiation on powers, sums, products, quotients, exponential, logarithmic, composite, and implicit functions. Calculate higher order derivatives.
- Use the first and second derivatives to determine intervals where a function is increasing, decreasing, concave up, concave down; find points of inflection, relative and absolute extrema; and graph the function.
- Use derivatives to solve a variety of application problems including optimization and rates of change with an emphasis in business. Explain the meaning of the derivative in the applications using appropriate units.
- Find antiderivatives of polynomials, exponential functions and some rational functions.
- Use finite sums to estimate the definite integral of functions defined numerically, graphically, or analytically. Estimation techniques should include left and right hand sums.
- Evaluate indefinite integrals. Use the integration technique of substitution. Use the fundamental Theorem of Calculus to evaluate definite integrals.
- Use integration to solve applications problems including area between two curves and consumer and producer surplus. Interpret the meaning of the integral in the applications using appropriate units.
