This is a Calculus Level I course. Topics include limits, continuity, derivatives, and anti-derivatives of algebraic, trigonometric, logarithmic, and exponential functions. Applications include sketching, area under the curve, optimization problems and related rates. Participants should have completed Algebra II or its equivalent. Precalculus is not a prerequisite for this course.
NOTE: This class has the option for dual enrollment. When enrolling, participants will be asked to select whether or not they would like to take this course for college credit. If taking the course for credit, a fee will be charged to offset the costs associated with accreditation, though we estimate these fees at near a third the cost to take the course independently. Additional assignments may be required of those opting to take it for college credit and traditional numeric grades will be given. College credit will be through Tompkins Cortland Community College for MATH201. This also fulfills the SUNY General Education Mathematics Knowledge and Skills Area.
