Introductory Calculus, Part I
MATH 117 FA

This course is designed to introduce basic ideas and techniques of differential calculus. Students should enter with sound pre-calculus skills but with very limited or no prior study of calculus. Topics to be considered include differential calculus of algebraic, exponential, and logarithmic functions. (Integral calculus will be introduced in MATH118).

MAJOR READINGS

Hughes-Hallett, Gleason et.al., CALCULUS: SINGLE VARIABLE, 3rd edition.

EXAMINATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS

Frequent assignments, weekly projects, three tests, and a cumulative final examination.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS and/or COMMENTS

Use of a graphing calculator, TI-82 or later, is required. A combination of lecture/presentation and work in small groups. All small groups will meet Tuesdays 12:00-1:00pm. The format is non-traditional, with group work and frequent use of technology. Regular attendance and participation is required. Students may not get credit for both MATH117 and MATH121 and are encouraged to seek departmental advice about which course to take. Any student with prior study of calculus (but wishing to begin again) should take 121, not 117. This course is not open to Junior or Senior majors.
