*This course was previously MATH 1431*

Prerequisites: Credit for MATH 2312 with a grade of C- or higher, or a satisfactory score on a placement examination.

Course Description: Calculus of single variable functions, limits, continuity, derivatives, mean value theorem, applications of the derivative,  motion problems, optimization, antiderivatives, the definite integral,  fundamental theorem of calculus, and numerical integration.

Textbook & Access Code: The textbook,online quizzes, and additional help materials will be made available by logging into CASA Campus Services (CCS) at https://ccs.casa.uh.edu/ . For more information regarding access to the book, please view the Digital Textbook available through Canvas.

Upon successful completion of this course, students will:

• Develop solutions for tangent and area problems using the concepts of limits, derivatives, and integrals.
• Draw graphs of algebraic and transcendental functions considering limits, continuity, and differentiability at a point.
• Determine whether a function is continuous and/or differentiable at a point using limits.
• Use differentiation rules to differentiate algebraic and transcendental functions.
• Identify appropriate calculus concepts and techniques to provide mathematical models of real-world situations and determine solutions to applied problems.
• Evaluate definite integrals using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
• Articulate the relationship

[Additional course curriculum details: Limits and continuity; the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus; definition of the derivative of a function and techniques of differentiation; applications of the derivative to maximizing or minimizing a function; the chain rule, mean value theorem, and rate of change problems; curve sketching; definite and indefinite integration of algebraic, trigonometric, and transcendental functions, with an application to calculation of areas.]
