This fast-paced introductory calculus course will prepare students for more in-depth study by imparting to them an understanding of the tools and methods of standard calculus. Topics include: behavior of functions, limits, alternate coordinate systems, the derivative, applications of the derivative, the integral (interated and indefinite), the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, and an introduction to sequences and series. While a graphing calculator such as a TI-83 or TI-89 can sometimes be helpful, the course will be taught mostly without the aid of these devices, as to ensure that the student has a full understanding of the topics without a reliance on a calculator. The textbook that we will be using for the course will be <i>Calculus</i>, 5th ed., by James Stewart, which can be purchased from online retailers such as Amazon.com.
