MTH-1560 - Elementary Calculus* (M) (3)

Prerequisite: MTH-1115 or MTH-1120 or MTH-1150
This is an introductory course in differential and integral calculus with emphasis on differentiation techniques and their applications. Students learn to differentiate and integrate polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic functions of a single variable and to apply these skills in solving problems from business, economics, and science. Graphing calculators and computer software are incorporated in appropriate areas throughout the course. This course is intended for business students instead of MTH-1200 . This course satisfies the General Education Mathematics requirement.

List Course Outcomes (consistent for all sections)
CO1 - Apply the notions of continuity and differentiability to algebraic and transcendental functions.

CO2 - Create derivatives by using a variety of techniques including explicit differentiation, implicit differentiation, logarithmic differentiation, and exponential differentiation.

CO3 - Interpret detailed graphs of nontrivial functions using derivatives and limits.

CO4 - Use basic techniques of integration to find particular or general antiderivatives.

CO5 - Apply the Fundamental Theorem of calculus to evaluate definite integrals.

CO6 - Apply calculus techniques to analyze and solve business applications involving average, marginal cost, revenue, profit, and optimization.
