exit examinations for these courses. Students with a grade less than B- in either Math
104A or Math 104B must enroll concurrently in Math 206P. This course will cover
limits, derivatives, and applications using derivatives.
Textbook: <author, title, edition, ISBN#>
Topical outline: Functions, graphs, conics, limits, continuity, derivatives, rules for
differentiation, antidifferentiation, and applications of derivatives, such as related rates
problems, optimization problems, and sketching the graph of a function.
Student Learning Outcomes: Students who successfully complete Math 206 will be
able to:
Calculate limits graphically, numerically, and algebraically.
Understand and apply the definition of continuity.
Calculate the derivative of a function using the definition and the various rules of
differentiation.
Solve related rates problems and minimization/maximization problems.
Understand the intermediate value theorem and the mean value theorem.
Use the derivative to sketch the graph of a function.
Compute basic antiderivatives.
