Material

Textbook: Calculus (5rd edition) by James Stewart, ISBN 0-534-39339-X.

In Calculus I, we will learn about derivatives, integrals and the fundamental theorems of calculus. We begin by introducing the notion of a limit. Limits are essential to defining derivatives and integrals. By the end of the semester students should know precise definitions of the derivative and the integral and the fundamental theorem of calculus which gives the relation between the derivative and the integral. We will illustrate the methods and ideas of calculus by studying several physical and geometric problems. We will study the interpretation of the derivative as velocity or slope of a tangent line, the trajectory of a body falling under the influence of gravity, the interpretation of the integral as area or distance traveled and the use of the integral in computing volumes of familiar solids such as a sphere or a cone. We will cover most of Chapters 1 to 6 of Stewart. Please see the course calendar for a detailed listing of sections.
