Calculus

Course Description

Calculus provide advanced math students with the opportunity to experience a college level course in their senior year.  The course introduces the basic calculus concepts of limits, derivatives, integrals, and the applications of those concepts.  It is largely self-paced, with the students' motivation and understanding dictating the speed of the course.  The main objective is to provide a solid foundation for success in college mathematics courses.

Course Competencies

Students will be able to:

• find limits of functions using the definition and properties of a limit.
• calculate derivatives of functions involving sums, products, quotients, composite functions, trig functions, and related rates.
• solve real world problems involving rates of change.
• approximate functions using linear approximation and Newton's Method.
• evaluate functions based on their maximum/minimum values oand concavity.
• find antiderivatives of functions by substitution.
• find the area under a curve by integration of functions.

This course may be taken for college credit.
