Assignments

COURSE OBJECTIVE:

MAT 119 explores the topics of the MAT 113 syllabus in greater depth by reducing the amount of time spent reviewing topics from high school mathematics.

MAT 113 is the continuation standard introduction to the differential and integral calculus of functions of one variable. Topics covered include applications of integrals, exponential function and rates of growth, techniques of integration, parametrized curves and infinite series.

The objective is to understand calculus and to be able not just to know how to solve problems but to figure out how to solve problems. The content of the course will be largely defined by the methods used to solve the collection of problems in the assignments.
