Overview

A continuation of MAT 125, covering integral calculus: Riemann sums, the fundamental theorem, symbolic and numeric methods of integration, area under a curve, volume, applications such as work and probability, improper integrals. This course has been designated as a High Demand/Controlled Access (HD/CA) course. Students registering for HD/CA courses for the first time will have priority to do so.

Prerequisite: C or higher in MAT 125 or 131 or 141 or AMS 151 or level 6 on the mathematics placement examination

Announcements

Welcome!
This is a large coordinated Calculus class. The coordinator for this semester is Robert Andersen. You should address to him any question regarding WebAssign, and other administrative questions.
The essential (and up-to-date) information will be available through Blackboard. This website will only be updated occasionally.

Grading

There will be 2 midterms (each 25%) and a final (30%).
