Description and Goals

The primary goal of the course is to obtain a sound understanding of the basic mathematical concepts of calculus. A secondary goal is to improve the ability to reason carefully and creatively when dealing with mathematical material. The emphasis of the course is on theory and proofs.

We will cover the first four chapters of the text and some of chapter 5, as time permits. Topics include functions, sequences, limits, continuity and differentiation.

Final Exam Notes

Who should take this course

The fundamental ideas of calculus play an important role in the physical sciences and engineering. For this reason, students in these areas may choose to take this course, even though no particular applications are discussed in the course. Students in mathematics, education, and other areas may also choose to take this course. However, students who intend to pursue graduate study in mathematics should not take this course. These students should take MAA 4211 instead.

Homework Assignments

The assignments will be added here, as the course progresses. These assignments will not be turned in for a grade. Students are expected to do the assignments as part of the preparation for the quizzes and exams. The quizzes will consist entirely on assigned problems.
