General course description This course is a one-semester continuation of the subject of Calculus, following the material covered in the syllabus of Math U241. We will use the Integral Calculus to describe growth and size in physical processes. This focus on mathematical modeling of reality will frequently lead us into word problems. The difficulties in word problems involve language and our intuition about reality as much as mathematics. We will work on this area of common concern to students of mathematics, physics and engineering. We will study separable differential equations in this process. We will also study infinite series, power series and the beginnings of linear algebra through the study of vectors in three dimensions. |
