MATH 152, section 003: Calculus II

Syllabus - main page

Course decsription
	Transcendental functions and their calculus. Integration techniques. Applications of the integral. Indeterminate forms and improper integrals. Polar coordinates. Numerical series and power series expansions. (4-1-5) (C)
Prerequisites
	Grade of "C" or better in MATH 151 or MATH 149 or Advanced Placement.
Course material
Book	Calculus Hybrid, seventh edition, by James Stewart, Cengage (2012), ISBN 1133112714. (Recommended if entire Calculus sequence will be taken. For MATH 151 and 152 only, Stewart’s Single Variable Calculus Hybrid Edition suffices.)
Other	WebAssign access (comes bundled with Stewart Hybrid Edition), Mathematica (free download from OTS for IIT students)
Course objectives
	The student should: acquire a sound understanding of the common transcendental functions. become proficient in the basic techniques of integration for the evaluation of definite, indefinite, and improper integrals. learn to solve first-order separable and linear differential equations. learn parametric curves and polar curves and their calculus. learn infinite series, power series, Taylor polynomial and series, and their convergence properties. be able to utilize the computer algebra system Mathematica to explore mathematical concepts, illustrate them graphically, and solve problems numerically or symbolically. become a more effective communicator by developing his/her technical writing skills in the preparation of several Mathematica lab reports.
Topics covered in the course
	Chapter 6 - Inverse and transcendental function Chapter 7 - Techniques of Integration Chapter 9 - Differential Equations Chapter 10 - Parametric Equations and Polar Coordinates Chapter 11 - Infinite Sequences and Series - Complex numbers
Dissability assistance
	Reasonable accommodations will be made for students with documented disabilities. In order to receive accommodations, students must obtain a letter of accommodation from the Center for Disability Resources and make an appointment to speak with me [the instructor] as soon as possible. The Center for Disability Resources (CDR) is located in Life Sciences Room 218, telephone 312-567-5744 or disabilities@iit.edu.
