MAT-282 Objectives

MAT 282 CALCULUS II

Course Description:

This course is a continuation of Calculus I (MAT 281) and begins with a study of numerical integration; Techniques of integration are applied to the following topics: transcendental functions, (including their derivatives), area of region between two curves, volume, and integration by parts, trigonometric substitution, partial fractions, and improper integrals. Sequences and series are examined with an emphasis of determining convergence or divergence and power series.  Taylor and Maclaurin series will also be studied. Prerequisite: Grade of C or better in Calculus I (MAT 281) OR placement.
