MAT 241 - Calculus I for Science and Engineering
4 credit hours
The first course in a three semester sequence of university level calculus for science, engineering and mathematics majors. This first semester covers differential and introductory integral calculus and their applications. There will be usage of MATLAB software.
Prerequisite: Mathematics proficiency level or a “C” or higher in MAT 142 or MAT 133 or MAT 136.

Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of the course, each student should be able to:
1. Use the concepts of the Calculus: limits, continuity, derivatives and antiderivatives, Riemann sums and integration as they apply to standard elementary mathematical functions: algebraic, trigonometric, logarithmic and exponential.
2. Differentiate and integrate functions.
3. Apply differentiation and integration to the concepts of other fields such as computer science, physics and engineering.
4. Utilize indeterminate forms and compute the associated limits.
