Attendance: is required; parts of this class may be in a cooperative learning format. You will be assigned
group work in and out of class. Repeated absences (more than 4 unexcused) will result in lowering your

This course focuses on the “mathematics” portion of this outcome. The whole course contributes to
satisfying this outcome.
Think Critically.
Read, analyze, and understand complex texts or quantitative information.
This course focuses on the “quantitative information” portion of this outcome. The whole course
contributes to satisfying this outcome.
Solve Problems.
Formulate and/or apply models to evaluate problems and draw conclusions.
We reach this goal by using differentiation and/or integration to set up and solve limit problems,
optimization problems, related rates problems, graphing function problems, and marginal function
problems.
Disclaimer: The instructor reserves the right to amend this syllabus at any time. Changes will be
announced in class. It is the responsibility of the student to be aware of any changes.
