Analyze quantitative information and draw conclusions from these analyses.
Justification for inclusion in the General Education category or categories:
Mathematics provides appropriate tools (such as calculus) necessary to formulate the scientific theories. In this course,
students are taught to understand and critically evaluate information and concepts in the natural and mathematical
sciences.
Previously:
No response
Course Learning Outcomes:
1. Students will be able to calculate derivatives and integrals of vector-valued functions.
2. Students will be able to analyze problems from physics, economics and other sciences using methods of vector
functions.
3. Students will be able to calculate solutions to multivariable problems using techniques of multivariable calculus.
Previously:
This course provides students with a knowledge of multivariate calculus
Course Learning Outcome Assessment Methods:
1. Students will be evaluated on midterm and final exams and weekly problem sets, which are designed to measure
their ability to solve problems using methods of vector calculus.
2. Homework and quizzes measure the student's ability to solve more extensive problems, including modeling and
solving problems related to natural sciences applications.
3. In class discussions, and exams and quizzes measure the student's mastery of the concepts, and the student's ability
to apply these concepts and techniques in the natural and mathematical sciences.
Previously:
Students will be evaluated on midterm and final exams and weekly problem sets.
