COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course is the first in a three-semester calculus sequence designed for mathematics, science, and engineering majors. Topics include limits and continuity; differentiation of algebraic, trigonometric and exponential functions and their inverses; integration and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus; and applications of differentiation and integration. NOTE: A
graphics calculator is required. Please attend the first class meeting before purchasing. UC credit limitation: Credit for MATH 115 or 150.

STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOME

Upon successful completion of Math 150, the student should be able to:

1. For a given set of problems the student will demonstrate quantitative reasoning by developing a problem-solving strategy, performing appropriate analysis and computation, and critically assessing the meaning of the conclusion or outcome.

PREREQUISITE:

MATH 126 and MATH 131, or MATH 130 and MATH 135, with a grade of “C” or better, or a qualifying score on the Math Competency Exam (MCE).

PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES


Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to do the following:

1. Apply the definition of "limit," both finite and infinite, and compute limits of functions
2. Given a list of algebraic and transcendental functions, compute, with no references, the derivative or indefinite integral of each
3. Solve problems involving tangent lines, extrema, or velocity
4. Solve related rate and optimization problems
5. Sketch and describe the behavior of a curve using calculus techniques
6. Solve application problems involving integrals.
