Course Objectives

The student will learn how to solve a variety of applied problems using the integral, including modeling problems by differential equations. The student will learn how to test numerical series for convergence and then apply this to power series and Taylor series approximations. The student will, lastly, acquire familiarity with vector algebra and geometry and apply this to lines and planes in three-dimensional space.


Topical Outline

1. Review of the definition of the integral, Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, area, and integration by substitution. 2. Volumes: cross-sections, cylindrical shells. Arclength and surface area. Work. 3. Separable differential equations. 4. Methods of integration: integration by parts, trigonometric substitutions, partial fractions. Improper integrals. 5. Sequences, series, convergence tests. Power series, Taylor series and applications. 6. Vectors in three dimensions. Dot product, cross product, lines and planes.
