Catalog Description: A review of differential calculus, followed by a complete treatment of integral calculus, including applications, the transcendental functions, techniques of integration, indeterminate forms, improper integrals, and polar coordinates. Intended for students with previous calculus experience.

This course will focus primarily on chapters 5-9 and 11 in Stewart's Calculus book. A brief review of the first five chapters will be included, but most of the reviewing will be done on an as needed basis throughout the semester. This is a beginning calculus course for students who have had some previous calculus. We will assume you remember many of the important concepts from the first five chapters, but we will not assume that you remember them all or remember them well. On the other hand, we want to build on your previous knowledge so that we will go further than a typical beginning course but not as far as the traditional second course. The computer algebra system, Maple, will be used some in this course, and while we may not use Maple extensively, you can expect to be familiar with its use by the end of the course.

Your grade in this course will be based on a total of 600 possible points. There will be three hour exams near the end of each month of the semester, each worth 100 points. Homework will be assigned and portions of it graded regularly. All homework combined will be worth 100 points. A comprehensive final exam given at the end of the semester will be worth 200 points. This course will require your close attention and most diligent effort. Remember that your grade will depend primarily on the new things you learn or relearn, and not on methods you may have relied on in the past.
