Syllabus: M408L

INTEGRAL CALCULUS

 

Text: Stewart, Calculus, Fifth Edition

Responsible Parties: Kathy Davis, John Gilbert, Gary Hamrick June 19 2003

 

 

Prerequisite and degree relevance:

A grade of C or better in either M408C or in M408K.  

 

Only one of the following may be counted: M 403L, 408D, 408L.

 

Calculus is offered in two equivalent sequences: a two-semester sequence, M 408C/408D, which is recommended only for students who score at least 600 on the mathematics Level I or IC Test, and a three-semester sequence, M 408K/408L/408M.

 

For some degrees, the two-semester sequence M 408K/408L satisfies the calculus requirement . This sequence is also a valid prerequisite for some upper-division mathematics courses, including M325K, 427K, 340L, and 362K.

 

M408C and M408D (or the equivalent sequence M408K, M408L, M408M) are required for mathematics majors, and mathematics majors are required to make grades of C or better in these courses.


Course description:
M408L is one of two first-year calculus courses. It is directed at students in the natural and social sciences and at engineering students. In comparison with M408D, it covers fewer chapters of the text. However, some material is covered in greater depth, and extra time is devoted the development of skills in algebra and problem solving. This is not a course in the theory of calculus. 

 

Introduction to the theory and applications of integral calculus of functions of one variable; topics include integration, the fundamental theorem of calculus, transcendental functions, sequences, and infinite series.

 

Timing and Optional Sections

A 'typical' semester has 43 MWF days; a day or so will be lost to course-instructor evaluations, etc. The syllabus contains material for 40 days; you cannot afford to lose class periods. Those teaching on TTh should adjust the syllabus; a MWF lecture lasts 50 min; a TTh therefore 75 min.
