MATH115P
Calculus I

Introduction to differential and integral calculus for functions of one variable. The heart of calculus is the study of rates of change. Differential calculus concerns the process of finding the rate at which a quantity is changing (the derivative). Integral calculus reverses this process. Information is given about the derivative, and the process of integration finds the "integral," which measures accumulated change. This course aims to develop a thorough understanding of the concepts of differentiation and integration, and covers techniques and applications of differentiation and integration of algebraic, trigonometric, logarithmic, and exponential functions. In addition to the material from Math 115, this course spends additional time strengthening students' precalculus skills, covering topics such as proportions and percents, linear and exponential growth, and logarithms. MATH 115P is an introductory course designed for students who have not seen calculus before and who would benefit from extra academic support on precalculus topics.
