Summer 2023 Differential Calculus - Course Syllabus

Sep 26, 2026

Uploaded by asda1da

Summer 2023 Differential Calculus provides course logistics, instructor contacts, and mandatory problem section requirements alongside detailed prerequisites for MATH 2413- (MATH 2413). It defines course coverage in differential calculus for one-variable functions, including limits, continuity, derivatives, chain rule, implicit differentiation, mean value theorem, extrema, curve sketching, inverse trigonometric derivatives, and antiderivatives with applications. Student learning objectives focus on modeling real-world problems, computing limits and derivatives, and communicating solutions numerically or graphically, supported by weekly study expectations and specific course materials.

During problem section, the TA shall: • review class material and relevant material from prerequisite courses • return and discuss quizzes and exams • work problems, or have students work problems • entertain questions • administer quizzes Course Description MATH 2413- (MATH 2413) Differential Calculus (4 semester hours) Course covers topics in differential calculus of functions of one variable; topics include limits, continuity, derivative, chain rule, implicit differentiation, mean value theorem, maxima and minima, curve sketching, derivatives of inverse trigonometric functions, antiderivative, substitution method, and applications. Three lecture hours and two discussion hours a week; problem section required with MATH 2413 , and will also be registered for exam section. Not all MATH/STAT courses may be counted toward various degree plans. Please consult your degree plan to determine the appropriate MATH/STAT course requirements. Prerequisite: A score of 80% on ALEKS math placement exam or a grade of at least a C-in MATH 2306 or MATH 2312. (3-2) S Student Learning Objectives/Outcomes (1) Students will be able to formulate real world problems into mathematical statements. • Given a narrative description of a problem that lends itself to mathematical analysis, the student will clearly define any variable quantities introduced and provide an appropriate equation, function, or formula relating those variables. (2) Students will be able to develop solutions to mathematical problems at the level appropriate to each course. • Given a limit statement of indeterminate form, the student will be able to apply appropriate algebraic or calculus based techniques to compute the limit. • Given a function, the student will be able to compute a first or second order derivative and, if instructed, evaluate the derivative at a point in its domain. (3) Students will be able to describe or demonstrate mathematical solutions either numerically or graphically. • Students shall provide a qualitative, planar sketch which clearly indicates prescribed attributes. • Students will provide numerical results in a prescribed manner, as a percent, an interval, or with specified accuracy. Mathematics is referred to as the language of science. As with any language, the more time you spend with it, the
