Title: Differential Calculus (Non-Science Students)
Course No: 201-103-RE Ponderation: 3-2-3 Units: 2 2/3
Pre-requisite: (High School Math 536) Co-requisite: none

Content: This course is a study of change from a mathematical view. Topics covered will include limits and continuity; the definition of the derivative of a function of one variable and the rules for differentiation, implicit differentiation, higher order derivatives, differentials and linear approximations, and l'Hospital's rule. Applications involve curve sketching, maxima and minima, and interpretations of rates of change.


Title: Integral Calculus (Non-Science Students)
Course No: 201-203-77 Ponderation: 3-2-3 Units: 2 2/3
Pre-requisite: 201-103-77 Co-requisite: none

Content: This course centres upon antiderivatives and their uses: integrals of functions of one variable, the fundamental theorem of calculus and methods of integration. Applications involve areas, volumes of revolution, length of a curve, etc. Improper integrals and sequences, series and power series are also considered.


Title: Vectors and Matrices (Non-Science Students)
Course No: 201-105-77 Ponderation: 3-2-3 Units: 2 2/3
Pre-requisite: (High School Math 536) Co-requisite: none

Content: This course is an introduction to linear algebra. Topics include vectors as directed line segments and in component form, linear dependence, basis, vector spaces and subspaces, dot and cross products, n-tuples as vectors, and vector equations of lines in two-space and of lines and planes in three-space; and matrices: matrix arithmetic and inverses, determinants, and linear systems of equations and matrices.
