Math 135

Syllabus for Math 135, all sections, Fall 2002

The textbook is:

Applied Calculus, 5th edition, by S.T. Tan, published by Brooks&Cole

This course requires a graphing calculator. Graphing calculators may be used on the final exam and on the midterm exams. However, calculators with QWERTY keypads or symbolic manipulation capabilities may not be used on any exam. This means that the TI-89 and the TI-92 calculators may not be used on any exam.

Topics planned to be covered by lecture number (homework assignments listed elsewhere). Individual lecturers might make some changes that apply ONLY to their sections.

1.  1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 Precalculus review; straight lines
2.  2.1, 2.2, 2.3      Functions: graphs, algebra, use in math models; limits
3.  2.4      Limits
4.  2.5      One-sided limits and continuity
5.  2.6      The Derivative
6.  3.1,3.2  Differentiation; product, quotient rules
