Course Objective
The objective of this class is to give students a thorough understanding of calculus concepts and to help students learn to appreciate the beauty of calculus and its development over time. Calculus is not a memorization of formulas but rather a collection of concepts to be discussed, understood, applied, and practiced.
Technology
It is imperative that all students own their own TI-83 or TI-84 calculator.
