This course is the first in a three-semester calculus
sequence designed for mathematics, science, and engineering majors. Topics include
limits and continuity; differentiation of algebraic, trigonometric and exponential
functions and their inverses; integration and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus;
and applications of differentiation and integration. NOTE: A
graphics calculator is required. Please attend the first class meeting before
purchasing. UC credit limitation: Credit for MATH 115 or 150.
Upon successful completion of Math 150, the student should be able to:
1. Given a function, a student will be able to
recognize and apply the appropriate technique(s) to find the derivative of the
function.
2. Given a function, a student will be able to recognize and apply the appropriate
technique(s) to find the integral of the function.
3. Given an applied problem from differential or integral calculus, a student
will be able to recognize and demonstrate an appropriate technique to solve
the problem.
MATH 130 and MATH 135 with a grade of “C” or better, or a qualifying score on the Math Competency Exam (MCE).

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to do the following:
1. Apply the definition of "limit," both finite and infinite, and
compute limits of functions
2. Given a list of algebraic and transcendental functions, compute, with no
references, the derivative or indefinite integral of each
3. Solve problems involving tangent lines, extrema, or velocity
4. Solve related rate and optimization problems
5. Sketch and describe the behavior of a curve using calculus techniques
6. Solve application problems involving integrals.
