Math 1041 Calculus I

Our Textbook: 

James Stewart: Calculus: Early Transcendentals; 8th Edition,
Cengage Learning ISBN-13: 978-1-305-71030-6
WebAssign is optional. Please check with your Professor about WebAssign policies.  You do not need to buy WebAssign.

Course Goals: 

1. You will compute limits and derivatives using techniques developed during the semester.

2. You will apply limits and derivatives to practical problems including optimization, motion, and related rates.

3. You will connect the concepts of approximation and limit to geometric questions which generate the definitions of asymptote, derivative, tangent line, and integral.

4. You will relate the derivative and integral and use this relationship to compute basic integrals.

5. You will become a more independent mathematician, exploring concepts and solving problems that are foundational to future coursework.

Basic Outline:

We will cover most of the sections of Chapters 2-5:
Chapter 2: Limits and Derivatives
Chapter 3: Differentiation Rules
Chapter 4: Applications of Differentiation
Chapter 5: Integrals
