anti-differentiation and the definite integral Rolle’s Theorem, Mean Value Theorem. Prerequisites: MTH 1122 or Advanced Placement.
Course Objectives: Upon completion of the
course, the student should be able to:
1. Find the limit of a function
2. Determine continuity and discontinuity of a function
3. Perform the operation of differentiation to polynomial function, rational expressions, and trigonometric function.
4. Apply the concept of the derivative to appropriate applications and to graphing.
5. Perform the operation of anti-differentiation.
6. Apply properties of the definite integral.
7. Apply Rolle’s Theorem and the Mean Value Theorem.
Course Requirements:
1. The student is expected to attend each
class session and to participate in class discussion.
2. The student is expected to complete all
homework assignments punctually.
Tests and Grades: Four tests will be given,
but only three of them will count toward the 75%

May 5, 2:00-4:00. Students missing a scheduled test or final exam will have a zero
(0) score recorded.

equipment necessary to accomplish the requirements of this course.
Additional Services: Students who have or may be dealing with a

This syllabus represents a tentative plan for the instruction in this
course. If, in the opinion of the instructor, learning may be optimized, it may be changed
at any time. This syllabus is a best possible assessment of the course aspirations,
assignments and requirements at the time it was developed for this quarter.
