3 credit hours. 3 lecture hours. 0 lab hours.


Prerequisites: MATH 1324  or MATH 1314 . (MATH 1314  is acceptable, but not preferable.)
This course is the basic study of limits and continuity, differentiation, optimization and graphing, and integration of elementary functions, with emphasis on applications in business, economics, and social sciences. This course is not a substitute for MATH 2413 , Calculus I.

Additional Fees: $15

Measurable Learning Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of this course, students will: Apply calculus to solve business, economics, and social sciences problems.  Apply appropriate differentiation techniques to obtain derivatives of various functions, including logarithmic and exponential functions.  Solve application problems involving implicit differentiation and related rates.  Solve optimization problems with emphasis on business and social sciences applications.  Determine appropriate technique(s) of integration.  Integrate functions using the method of integration by parts or substitution, as appropriate.  Solve business, economics, and social sciences applications problems using integration techniques.
Notes:
Any student enrolled in a mathematics course at Temple College will be eligible to attend a mathematics lab. The main campus lab will be open at least 20 hours each week and will be staffed by the lab director, regular math faculty members and peer tutors. Labs in Hutto, Taylor, and Cameron will be open a limited number of hours as posted at those facilities. Hours vary each semester. Check with center directors for available tutoring at the Taylor, Cameron and Hutto locations.

While every effort has been made to align our pre-requisites with the majority of major receiving institutions, it is ultimately the learner’s responsibility to be aware of his/her institution’s particular pre-requisites.

MyMathLab is used in most classes.
