This 4-credit course will cover the standard subject matter, as given in the course syllabus: The definite integral, techniques of integration, and applications to physics, chemistry, and engineering. Sequences, series, and power series. Taylor and MacLaurin series. The honors course will cover this material 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. Recommended for Freshmen, Sophomores; Majors, Non-majors. (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. Seats reserved for Freshmen.
This 4-credit course, which is part of a TEFD project and thus run somewhat differently from the other sections, will cover integration, infinite series, and applications to differential equations, geometry, and physics.
Historical perspectives, wider contexts, and emphasis of the underlying theory will be central to the development of the material. Prospective students must have a very thorough understanding and very good working knowledge of Calculus I. If Calculus I were etudes, this course will be your first Beethoven sonata. Intellectual curiosity, the ability to deviate from a formulaic/recipe oriented thought process, and active participation during class and home work projects are crucial to be successful in this course. Peer collaboration, weekly meetings with the TA, and seminar style interactions are strongly encouraged.
