NS, Q- This 5-credit math course is the first quarter of the four-quarter calculus sequence that provides an interdisciplinary introduction to the core concepts of differential calculus with a primary focus on applications from the disciplines of mathematics, engineering, and the physical sciences. Content includes limits, theory and applications of differential calculus, and an introduction to basic antiderivatives. Learners will continue to refine independent study skills, cooperative problem solving, logically correct and mathematically precise writing and thinking, and their ability to use geometric, symbolic, and analytic formats in presenting solutions to both abstract and real-world applications. Classroom activities will include lecture/discussion and group work. Students will communicate their results in oral and written form. Graphing calculator required.
