Mathematics 127H - Calc Life-Soc Sci I

This honors course will cover the standard subject matter, as given in the MATH 127 course syllabus: 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, but in greater depth. This means that there will be some emphasis on the underlying theory, that more applications will be included, and that some attention will be paid to history. Active student participation will be encouraged. (Gen.Ed. R2)

[Note: Because this course presupposes knowledge of basic math skills, it will satisfy the R1 requirement upon successful completion.]

Open to Commonwealth Honors College Students only.
