Expanded Course Description
This is the first term of a calculus sequence for students in the business and social sciences. Students will learn techniques and applications of differential calculus.
The first term course covers rates of change of functions, derivatives of polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithm functions, and functions arising from these functions as building blocks, optimization, and graphing.
This course emphasizes modeling and applications to business and the social sciences. Applications include polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic models; polynomial regression; marginal cost, profit, and revenue; present and future values; optimization; marginal analysis; related rates of change; exponential growth and decay; graphing: concavity, convexity, and critical points.
