01:640:158 Calculus II for Mathematical and Physical Sciences Practicum (1)
Application of algorithms studied in 01:640:152 to problems.
Corequisite: 01:640:152.
This class gives a review of topics that are covered in Math 151 and not in Math 135 (or less heavily). For example, inverse trigonometry, Riemann sums, and vertical integration (dy vs dx). It is intended to help those students more likely to struggle in Math 152 to pass the class successfully. There are ten 80 minute meetings twice a week for the first five weeks of the semester.
Who should take this course?
Students in Math 152 that are good candidates for Math 158 are students who:
- took Math 135,
- received a low grade in Math 151,
- earned a 4 on the AP Calculus AB exam,
- took Calculus I at another school, or
- feel they may be at risk to do poorly in Math 152.
