Monday/Tuesday/Thursday, 6:45 p.m. - 9:55 p.m.
7/7/08 - 7/31/08
July Evening Course
This course introduces differentiation and integration, and shows how these ideas are related. The course illustrates how a huge array of important and interesting geometry, application, and life questions, when expressed in the language of functions, turn out to be questions about derivatives and integrals, and are amenable to the same body of techniques and universal principles. The course presents the basic concepts numerically, algebraically, and geometrically, using graphing calculators to illustrate many of the underlying geometrical ideas. MA 19 is not a prerequisite for any other course; students who have received credit for MA 19 may not take MA 121 for credit.
