Course Description:  Introduction to differential and integral calculus with an emphasis on applications.  Introduction to matrices and their applications.  Not open to mathematics majors or minors.  Prerequisite:  Math 127 or a minimum ACT Math score of 24 or a minimum MNSCU math placement score of 20.

Course Objectives and Student Learning Outcomes:

Upon completion of the course, students will be able to do the following:

• Evaluate complex relations using symbolic abstraction and generalization.
• Demonstrate problem solving using symbolic representation and manipulation.
• Demonstrate an ability to apply differential calculus to real-life situations.
• Demonstrate an ability to apply integral calculus to real-life situations.
• Demonstrate an ability to apply matrix algebra to real-life situa

Grading

There will be an exam each Friday. The first four exams will be worth 100 points each.The last exam will be worth between 100 and 200 points; the amount will be determined during the term. At the discretion of the professor, supplemental problems may be assigned for credit.  These problems will be distributed in class and the due date will be announced at that time.  Each student is responsible for obtaining, completing and submitting such assignments by the due date.  Grading will be based on total points and the following percentages, although pluses or minuses may also be used.

A         100 – 90

B           89 – 80

C           79 – 70

D           69 – 60
