STUDENT LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

  1. Student will review the concepts of absolute value inequalities, functions, combinations of functions and composite functions.

  2. Student will evaluate limits using the limit theorems, the definition, and demonstrate the concept of continuity.

  3. Student will find the derivative (first and higher order) using rules, theorems and definition. Interpret as slope, rate of change, velocity, and acceleration.

  4. Student will learn and demonstrate techniques of approximation, and the differential.

  5. Student will apply the derivative to curve sketching, maxima-minima problems, and related rate problems.

  6. Student will learn and apply Rolle’s Theorem and the mean value theorem.

  7. Student will learn and demonstrate techniques for evaluating the integral using definition, rules, theorems and by approximation.

  8. Student will apply the definite integral to find area, volumes of solids of revolution, and average values.

  9. Student will learn and demonstrate techniques for differentiating exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric functions.

  10. Student will learn and demonstrate techniques for evaluating integrals involving, exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric functions, and functions.
