Calculus I
MATH 125
COURSE OBJECTIVES AND LEARNING OUTCOMES:
Math 125 is an introduction to first-semester calculus for engineering, science and math students, with an emphasis on understanding, problem solving, and modeling. Upon completion of the course, the student will:
Use derivatives to analyze and graph algebraic and transcendental functions;
Select and apply models and differentiation techniques to applications involving, but not limited to, optimization and related rates;
Apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to evaluate integrals;
Use estimation techniques to approximate rates of change, area, and total change.

TEXTBOOK
Math 125 covers chapters 1 - 6 and section 7.1 of Calculus, Single Variable; 6th edition; Hughes-Hallett, et al.; Wiley.
The Textbook and WebAssign access for homework are being delivered digitally via D2L through the Inclusive Access program.
CALCULATORS
A graphing calculator is required for Math 125. We recommend any model in the TI-83 or TI-84 series. Models that can perform symbolic calculations (also known as CAS) are NOT allowed on exams and quizzes. CAS models include (but are not limited to) the TI-89,TI NSpire CAS, HP 50g, and Casio Classpad 330. See here for more information about calculator models. Students are not allowed to share calculators during exams and quizzes.
HOMEWORK
Math 125 uses a computer grading program called WebAssign for textbook assignments. Logging into WebAssign can only be done through the WebAssign Login link in your Math 125 D2L site.
Additional homework and/or quizzes may be assigned by instructors. Be sure to check with your instructor.
