Basic calculus with applications to problems in the life and social sciences. Functions and graphs, the derivative, techniques of differentiation, curve sketching, maximum-minimum problems, exponential and logarithmic functions, exponential growth and decay, and introduction to integration. Prerequisite: proficiency in high school algebra, including word problems. Honors sections available. (Gen.Ed. R2)

[Note: Because this course presupposes knowledge of basic math skills, it will satisfy the R1 requirement upon successful completion.]
This section will be offered as a hybrid course. There will be approximately 5 Thursdays when the lecture is delivered in online format only. On those dates, the TAs and the instructor will be available in the classroom for extra help during the class meeting time.
Permission is required for interchange registration during the add/drop period only.
