GECInformation:
This mathematics course can be used, depending on your degree program, to
satisfy the Quantitative and Logical Skills category of the General Education
Requirement (GEC). The goals and learning objectives for this category are:

Goals
To master the essentials of Differential Calculus andits applications, to develop
the computational and problem solving skills for that purpose, and to introduce
the students to Integral Calculus.

Learning Objectives
To understand the basic techniques of Calculus, including the notions of limit
and continuity, the definition of the derivative of a function,how to compute
the derivative of any elementary function (polynomial, exponential, logarithmic,
trigonometric, or any combination of such), how to determine maxima and
minima, and how these techniques apply to reallife situations; the definition

and some applications of definite integrals, Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

and Substitution Rule.
