MAT 242 - Calculus II for Science and Engineering
4 credit hours
MAT 242 is integral calculus with applications to polar coordinates and infinite series. This is the second course in the three semester sequence of university level calculus. Topics include: techniques of integration, polar coordinates and polar graphs, parametric equations and their associated graphs, theory of convergence of infinite series, Taylor Polynomials and Taylor Series. There will be usage of MATLAB software. P rerequisite: A “C” or higher in MAT 241.
