According to the course catalogue, the course will cover an "introduction to integral calculus with a wide variety of applications."

More specifically, Fundamentals of Calculus II is the second course in a two course sequence. The underlying applications of integral calculus will be investigated along with some methods for doing multivariable calculus (chapters 6-9 and P). The topics will include, but not be limited to, basic integration, u-substitution, integration by parts, improper integrals, probability, differential equations, and multivariable functions with multivariable calculus. This understanding will be discovered and shown via mathematical modeling of real world situations. An emphasis will be made to understand these new concepts graphically, numerically, verbally, and algebraically. The course work will involve some fairly intense computations and mathematical modeling, and it is required that students purchase or obtain an appropriate calculator. A TI-83/84 Graphing calculator is highly recommended. Students will be allowed to use a calculator on all assignments and tests, but please be aware that the instructor may ask for all work to be shown in order to receive credit.

 

Computational Tools:

Open a Sage worksheet by connecting to chaka.uvm.edu (link will only work on campus or on a machine with a VPN client installed); or just go to the Sage notebook, which is hosted by William Stein at the University of Washington.

Sage is free software. See the download instructions to install it on your machine.

Mathematica can be download and installed here. Here is a Mathematica worksheet for plotting 3D surfaces.

There is also a numerical integrator available.

 

Homework:

Homework is due on Wednesdays. The homework will only be graded "for completeness"--I will rarely grade individual problems. It is extremely important that you attempt all of the problems listed and seek help for those which you are unable to finish: the only way to learn mathematics is to practice, make mistakes, and correct them!

Cooperation on homework is permitted (and encouraged), but if you work together, do not take any paper away with you--in other words, you can share your thoughts (say on a blackboard), but you have to walk away with only your understanding. In particular, write the solution up on your own.
